Munsters lodge objection against Dolphin

YOUNG MUNSTER will today challenge Dolphin’s passage to Saturday’s AIB League Division Two final at Lansdowne Road.

The Limerick club, beaten by Dolphin in the final seconds of last weekend’s semi-final, and denied promotion by a sequence of results in Dublin, will alert the Irish Rugby Union to Dolphin’s use of an ‘illegal’ player in their squad over the last two weeks.

Dolphin are due to meet Terenure at Lansdowne Road this weekend, but IRFU administration manager Gordon Black will today be faced with a decision, when a letter of objection arrives on his desk, as to whether there is a case to answer. Mr Black was made aware of a problem yesterday, but said he had not received any official notification of an objection.
