O’Gara in fitness race for Edinburgh tie
The iconic out-half limped off with a hamstring injury 33 minutes into their opening Pool 1 clash with Racing Metro and will undergo a scan today to assess the extent of the injury. The Irish Examiner understands Munster will not make any decisions until they receive the results from the scan.
On a day the province would like to forget, Paul O’Connell’s return was blighted by what he believes was an incorrect decision by English referee Greg Garner. O’Connell lost possession of the ball in the act of scoring a try but regained control before dotting it down. “Yeah, I just dropped it straight down and landed on it again. I thought it was a try. I thought he awarded the try but then I think he changed his mind and went to the video ref,” he said.
