Rugby: Delport injury a boost for Munster

THERE may be good news for Munster ahead of their Heineken Cup double header against Gloucester later this month.

Their opponents’ South African World Cup full-back Thinus Delport is sweating on the results of a medical report after sustaining a knee injury during the Zurich Premiership side’s 18-17 victory over Harlequins.

Delport was stretchered off in the 66th minute with possible knee ligament damage, just moments after helping to set up Trevor Woodman’s match-winning try.
