Tomas O'Leary looks certain to miss the British and Irish Lions Tour to South Africa after suffering a serious ankle injury in Munster's 29-10 Magners League win over the Scarlets.
O'Leary's injury marred Munster's 10th straight win in all competitions at Musgrave Park, with early indications that the Ireland scrum-half has a suspected fractured ankle.
He was immediately ruled out of next weekend's Heineken Cup semi-final showdown with Leinster and will almost certainly miss the trip to South Africa.
Tries from Ian Dowling, David Wallace, Keith Earls and Denis Leamy helped Munster move onto 58 points, meaning the title will be theirs if Ospreys fail to gain a point against Edinburgh on Saturday.
The reigning European champions had seven of their eight Lions in action, with tour captain Paul O'Connell the only absentee as he rested a sore hip.
