Byrne a doubt for Ospreys trip to Munster

OSPREYS star Lee Byrne is rated doubtful for the Welsh region’s Heineken Cup quarter-final clash with Munster in Thomond Park on April 12.

The Welsh fullback limped out of last weekend’s RBS Six Nations Championship decider against Ireland with a foot injury and his absence for the Ospreys would constitute a massive blow to the region’s hopes of reaching a first-ever Heineken Cup semi-final.

According to reports in Wales, the full-back will definitely miss Saturday’s EDF Energy Cup semi-final against Gloucester at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena, and questions marks remain over his involvement against Munster 15 days later.
