Overview
- An Independent Disciplinary Committee did not uphold Barron’s upgraded red card, so he is eligible to face the Lions at Thomond Park.
- The panel found an act of foul play but ruled the danger did not reach the standard required for a sending off.
- The incident stemmed from a croc roll on Dylan Tierney-Martin that referee Peter Martin first sanctioned with a yellow before it became a 20-minute red on review.
- Munster have listed Barron among the replacements, with Niall Scannell set to start at hooker in the final round, according to the team named by RugbyPass.
- The outcome against the Lions will shape Munster’s push for the URC play-offs and Champions Cup places, and a loss would leave them needing other results as their game is the last of the weekend.
