Damian de Allende has been named in Munster’s 33-man tour squad to face the Vodacom Bulls and Lions in South Africa.

The Springbok centre has been sidelined since 1 January due to an abdomen injury. The 30-year-old, whose contract with Munster expires in June, has recently been linked with a move to English Premiership outfit Bath.
