Gaffney fears Munster injury jinx

MUNSTER coach Alan Gaffney feels last year’s Leinster injury jinx may have followed him south.

The former Lions boss managed a wry smile at the suggestion, but added ruefully: “At this stage, it’s not really funny.”

Rob Henderson is the latest high-profile casualty after sustaining a serious injury in Gloucester on Saturday and the Munster squad will be down to the bare bones for the visit of Perpignan to Thomond Park next weekend.
