O’Driscoll warning for Reds

Munster ‘A’ 23 Nottingham Rugby 16

O’Driscoll expressed disappointment with the A’s latest display that came at a cost with injuries to Johnny Holland (torn hamstring) and Luke O’Dea (suspected broken hand) making Friday’s assignment all the more daunting.

Trailing 6-16 entering the last quarter and having lost outhalf Holland, a re-jigged Munster backline and forward unit — bolstered in no small measure by the introduction of Gerry Hurley, Christy Condon and Joe McSwiney — helped eke out two converted tries, and leave a stunned Nottingham side return home with just a losing bonus point.
