Positive News On Hayes

The news from the Munster camp today concerning the neck injury sustained by John Hayes on Saturday was positive in that there has been no dis-improvement and he is expected to take some part in training on Wednesday.

After that the situation will be re-assessed and a decision taken as to his availability or not, for Sunday’s clash with Clermont Auvergne.

Good news also about Ian Dowling who was forced to cry off the bench with a bout of illness but he has recovered and is also expected to take part in training Wednesday.

Noit so good news however for Peter Stringer’s back-up Tomas O’Leary who has come down with a bout of pneumonia and will be out of action for up to three weeks.
