Peel has several injury concerns before the visit of Munster, but said lock Jake Ball – who has re-joined Scarlets this summer<\/a> after four years in Japan – should recover from a clash of heads during Saturday’s game at Rodney Parade.<\/p>\n

However, Wales full-back Blair Murray withdrew during the warm-up along with back-row summer-signing Tristan Davies.<\/p>\n

“There’s a couple of boys, Harry Thomas as well went off early [with an] arm injury. I don’t know the extent of all of that yet,” said Peel.<\/p>\n

“Blair had a back spasm. That was a bit of a blow because he’d been training really well the last couple of weeks and it would have been nice to have given him a run. <\/p>\n

“But with a quality player like him, I’m sure he’d be ready to go for Munster anyway.”<\/p>\n

Despite the loss and injuries, Peel insisted the game was worthwhile for his players after weeks of training.<\/p>\n

“Some of the returning international players have been in for three or four weeks now and them getting a hit out was important, to get the cobwebs out and ready for Munster,” added the former Wales scrum-half.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got a lot to do, but I don’t mind that because it gives you a real focus. If things had gone really smooth [on Saturday] then maybe you take your foot off the gas.<\/p>\n

“We’ll be ready for some league rugby in two weeks, which is going to be huge.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
