Easterby is impressed by Munster

SIMON EASTERBY looked like somebody who had just gone the full distance with both Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton after Saturday’s defeat to Munster.

The Scarlets skipper and Ireland flanker left the pitch twice in the first half for treatment to a deep gash over his left eye. The battle hardened Easterby, in his ninth year with the Scarlets, was already carrying another gash a fraction of an inch away in his eyebrow.

Despite the discomfort, he saw plenty of Munster to impress him.
