Not a great few days for Munsters Champions Cup aspirations. First Cloete is gone for the season (google Chris Cloete forearm fracture for one of the most gruesomely graphic surgery tweets you're ever likely to see) and now Farrell has done his ACL.
We have fitness doubts surrounding Kilcoyne, Niall Scannell, Kleyn, Wycherly, O'Donnell, Rory Scannell, Taute, Conway and Ronan O'Mahony - will be lucky if we can field a side to face Toulon by the end of this 6N!
Leinster have it even worse with Heaslip retiring yesterday and the likes of O'Brien, Furlong, Van der Flier, McGrath, Henshaw, Nacewa, Byrne, Daly, Marsh and Ruddock all out and Ringrose only just coming back from injury.
We're building much better strength in depth in Ireland but I'm not sure how sustainable this attrition rate is.
