Injury worry for O’Connell as JJ’s magic puts Munster top
O’Connell failed to survive the pre-game warm-up, having suffered a calf strain. No details of the extent of the injury were immediately available but it could put the Ireland captaincy candidate in doubt for the autumn internationals.
The night belonged to Hanrahan, getting a first start at fly-half in three weeks with first-choice Ian Keatley given the night off. And the Kerryman made the most of his opportunity, scoring all 13 points, the undoubted highlight being the 46th-minute try.
