Munster rugby stars line out for charity cycle

MUNSTER rugby players and supporters are organising a series of charity events to support a colleague and friend diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year and to research into the debilitating condition.

Paul Darbyshire, 39, joined the Munster set-up in June 2007 as the head of strength and conditioning.

Originally from Wigan but living in Cork, ‘Darbs’ served his time as a player, coach and conditioner for over 18 years with rugby league side Warrington Wolves.
