Injury update: Max Llewellyn & Will Joseph
Max Llewellyn and Will Joseph both left the field during Gloucester Rugby's Round 1 victory over Castres Olympique.

Following early assessment, a knee injury for Llewellyn has ruled him out of action until the latter part of the 2025/26 season.

Joseph continues to be assessed, but like Llewellyn, is not expecting to return to action quickly.

Well looks like Glaws are pretty much phoning this one in. Munster should have fun.

Disappointing team from Glos. Bit of a trend with sides basically giving up on difficult away games. At least Clark returns at lock and Clement at 8.
