Murphy to step into Zebo void

HEINEKEN CUP POOL SIX:

Zebo was ruled out for 10 weeks on Tuesday after cracking a bone in his left foot during the defeat to Edinburgh in the opening Pool 6 game at Murrayfield last Saturday.

Head coach Rob Penney’s options for a replacement were plentiful, with Munster A running in six tries past Stirling County in the British & Irish Cup last Saturday in Bandon, but potential candidates Ronan O’Mahony and Andrew Conway have been retained in the A team for this weekend’s trip to Nottingham.
