Blow for Munster as Wallace forced out for six months

MUNSTER have suffered a major blow to their Heineken Cup and Celtic League aspirations with the news that David Wallace will be out of the game for up to six months.

National coach Eddie O’Sullivan was also reeling from the shock news yesterday that Wallace has to undergo an operation to cure a shoulder injury.

A scan earlier this week revealed the extent of the problem and Wallace admitted: “The time scale for recovery could be up to six months.”
