Munster trio out until ‘at least end of January’

MUNSTER backs coach Jason Holland yesterday said the squad’s long-term injury casualties would not be back in action until at least the end of January.

Ian Dowling (hip), Felix Jones (knee) and Denis Fogarty (shoulder) all picked up their injuries during the September 18 Magners League encounter at home to Ospreys.

“Dowls is coming along quite slowly, it’s pretty serious,” Holland said following training at the University of Limerick yesterday.
