Munster Heads Up For Shave Or Dye

Munster players and staff gathered in Musgrave Park today in support of Today FM’s Shave or Dye campaign, calling on supporters, family and friends to donate to the Irish Cancer Society.

With a number of players committed to the dye option the plans changed pretty quickly when James Coughlan and Andrew Conway stepped up for the first head shaves of the day, and it snowballed from there!

Fair to say there'll be a number of exposed heads taking to the field against Ospreys on Sunday afternoon, but all in support of a good cause.

Staff from The Grafton Barber kindly offered their time and services, expertly shaving and colouring the heads in attendance.

Both Duncan Casey and Alan Cotter took a double hit when they opted for the shave and dyed beard look, while Andrew Conway was nominated as the "Nidge" look-alike from Love/Hate.

Players that opted for the shaved heads included James Coughlan, Andrew Conway, Billy Holland, Tommy O'Donnell, Johne Murphy, Duncan Casey and Alan Cotter. Those that went for the hair dye included Simon Zebo, Denis Hurley, James Downey, Cathal Sheridan, CJ Stander

And not to be out-done, Munster staff also participated with Enda Lynch, Brendan O'Connor, Ultan O'Callaghan and Ken O'Connell getting their heads shaved while Anthony Coole, Elliot Corcoran, Colm Coakley and Colm Fuller went with the colour option.

While Musgrave Park was a hive of activity, hooker Niall Scannell was over at the PBC training ground with the School's Senior Cup squad and they too played a part when they all coloured their hair for charity.

Tune in to Matt Cooper on Today FM's The Last Word to catch some of the interviews from the day and we will post more pictures and videos in the coming days.
