Misery for Muldoon after injury blow

Connacht have been dealt a massive blow with captain John Muldoon out for at least three months and possibly the remainder of the season.

The 28-year old, who missed the start of the season after breaking his arm playing for Ireland against New Zealand in the summer, broke the same forearm in the closing stages of last weekend’s Amlin Challenge Cup clash with Harlequins.

Coach Eric Elwood confirmed yesterday that the skipper faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
