Wood set for Munster comeback

KEITH WOOD is expected to play for Munster for the first time in over two years when they take on Rotherham in a friendly at Thomond Park on Friday night next (7pm).

The Irish hooker successfully came through 60 minutes of the international against Wales on Saturday with no ill-effects, having been out of the game for nearly a year.

He reported afterwards that he was a little “tired and sore” but was otherwise fine after his first competitive match since Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Russia in Siberia last September.
