Ulster Rugby faces a significant injury crisis ahead of their match against Munster at Thomond Park, scheduled for Saturday at 17:30 BST. Following a 29-21 defeat to Leinster in the United Rugby Championship (URC), six players have been added to the injury list, including Angus Bell (foot), Scott Wilson (ankle), and Tom O'Toole (hand). This brings the total number of unavailable players to eleven, including Nick Timoney (hip) and James McNabney (knee). Despite these setbacks, head coach Richie Murphy is hopeful as Michael Lowry has returned to full training, with his status for the match to be evaluated throughout the week. After the defeat, Ulster has dropped to fifth in the URC standings, just one point ahead of Munster, as they approach the final three rounds of the season. Additionally, Ulster is preparing for a crucial European Challenge Cup semi-final against Exeter Chiefs on May 2, aiming to break a 20-year trophy drought.
