Toulouse hit by double injury scare

TOULOUSE'S hopes of beating Munster in the semi-finals of the European Cup next week suffered a double injury scare at the weekend when two of their key players limped off the field in the French championship play-offs.

Veteran stand-off Yann Delaigue was taken off in the 24th minute of the 55-33 win at Pau suffering from a thigh injury while winger and skipper Emile N'Tamack was replaced because of a shoulder injury in the 56th minute by Vincent Clerc.

Despite the injuries, Toulouse remain on course for the semi-finals.
