O’Mahony and Coughlan cleared for French test

Munster captain Peter O’Mahony and No8 James Coughlan were both cleared to face Perpignan on Sunday but the province will have to do without injured hooker Mike Sherry.

O’Mahony and Coughlan have been passed fit for the Heineken Cup clash with the Pool 6 leaders from France but Sherry faces a spell out after a scan on Monday night revealed he suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in his left knee during Munster’s win at Dragons on Friday night.

The 25-year-old Garryowen forward must see a specialist tomorrow, who will determine the full extent of the injury.
