**It’s not long to go until Round 8 provides yet more thrills and spills in the Guinness PRO14.** The weekend’s action begins on Sunday when **Connacht** will host Ospreys at The Sportsground and where better to start today’s Media Watch than Galway. Andy Friend’s side are [sweating on the availability of Abraham Papali’i](http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/connacht-hopeful-papali-i-s-red-card-against-zebre-may-be-rescinded-1.4418163) following his red card last time out against Zebre, while they will also be without injured centre Tom Farrell. Staying in Ireland, **Leinster** coach Stuart Lancaster provided an update on Tadhg Furlong when he spoke to the media ahead of the champions’ upcoming match with Scarlets. The prop has yet to feature since the return to rugby in August, having picked up a calf injury which has kept him out of action soon after successfully recovering from a back injury. “He’s still got a bit of work to do, I think,” Lancaster said [when asked about a potential return for Furlong](http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/lancaster-tadhg-furlong-update/). We definitely don’t want to rush him back until he’s ready.” There is positive news on injury front in the **Munster** camp, though, as both Chris Cloete (neck) and Liam Coombes (hamstring) have returned to full training and are available for selection. There were [no fresh injury concerns](http://www.munsterrugby.ie/2020/11/25/squad-update-preparations-begin-for-zebre-clash/) following Monday’s bonus-point win away to Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun, which leaves Munster top of Conference B with six wins from six. Meanwhile, **UIster** centre Stewart Moore is relishing every minute after injury-plagued start to his career - starting every game during his side’s seven-match winning streak. And having had to deal with an injury-plagued start to life as a professional rugby player, the Ballymoney man [told the Belfast Telegraph](http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/rugby/ulster-rugby/stewart-moore-living-by-his-rugby-philosophy-during-bright-start-to-senior-ulster-career-39788037.html) that he is loving every minute he gets.
