O’Mahony battles against the clock

Munster skipper Peter O’Mahony continues his quest to lead Munster into Heineken Cup battle against Toulouse at Thomond Park on Saturday.

It was very much a mixed bag for Munster yesterday as coach Rob Penney updated the injury situation in advance of the big game, but he offered hope O’Mahony would be cleared to play.

The bad news though is Stephen Archer has been ruled out for several weeks with a bulging disc in his neck, and Donnacha Ryan also is likely to be out for a few more weeks with a foot injury.
