Munster pair in doubt

By Online Editors
Monday 7 May 2012

Munster could be without stalwarts Paul O'Connell and Damien Varley, who  are rated unlikely to feature in the Pro 12 semifinal clash with Ospreys on Friday.

Both players sustained injuries in the 36-8 victory over Ulster on the weekend.

O'Connell departed the scene in the 55th minute with a knee injury while Varley, having replaced Mikle Sherry in the 45th minute, sustained an ankle injury with just two minutes of play remaining.

Medical examination this morning showed Varley had suffered an ankle sprain, but O'Connell will need to see a specialist later in the week to determine the exact nature of his injury.

However, news of Ronan O'Gara is that he's expected to resume training this week with a view to being in consideration for the Ospreys game as is Ian Keatley, who missed the Ulster game after sustaining a knock in training last Thursday.
