Wallace’s knee injury causing major concern for Munster

Injured duo Ronan O’Gara and David Wallace will again be absentees when Munster take on the Llanelli Scarlets in a crucial RaboDirect Pro12 game at Parc Y Scarlets on Saturday.

Both missed last week’s defeat of the Glasgow Warriors at Musgrave Park and have failed to respond to treatment. While O’Gara is expected to return quickly enough, Munster coach Tony McGahan admitted that Wallace’s long-term knee injury remains a major concern.

“Ronan picked up a dead leg injury against Ulster and it hasn’t responded to treatment as well as he would have hoped,” said McGahan.
