Squad Update
30th March 2015 By Munster Rugby
Following Saturday’s Guinness PRO12 win over Connacht at Thomond Park, Munster players gathered in their respective centres in Limerick and Cork today ahead of the first squad session of the week tomorrow.
Those who featured against Connacht met with the Munster medical staff this morning where, apart from the usual bumps and bruises, Dave O’Callaghan emerged as the only injury concern.
O’Callaghan sustained a knock to his hand during the warm up causing him to wear a hand support for the duration of the game and the extent of the injury will be assessed as the week progresses.
With Munster’s next competitive game not until Saturday, April 11th (away to Edinburgh at Murrayfield), and with the remaining internationals on course to return to matchday squads in the coming weeks, a number of players will look to impress in this Thursday’s ‘A’ interprovincial against the Connacht Eagles as the battle for team places heats up in the final stages of the PRO12.
Off the back of a successful trip to Nenagh Ormond RFC where Munster ‘A’ ran out deserving 30-24 winners against the Ulster Ravens, Mick O’Driscoll is once again expected to field a mixture of Senior, Academy and Club talent – the Head Coach will name his side to face the Eagles on Wednesday.
With free admission, make the most of the Easter break this Thursday and bring the whole family to enjoy the interprovincial action.
Munster ‘A’ v Connacht Eagles, Thursday April 2nd at Thomond Park – KO 3pm.
Munster’s next competitive home fixture is against Benetton Treviso at Irish Independent Park on Saturday, April 25th.
