Update:
We spoke to the Munster press office an hour ago and asked about the Paul O'Connell situation. We were told then that he's going to start.

That doesn't mean definitively that he'll start either of course but we did specifically ask about the rumours of the injury. #munster

And if he's out, perhaps you wait until the very last minute to alert Clermont. But I guess we'll have to wait until k/o to see if he's fit
