Donnacha Ryan back on duty for Munster after head injury comeback

Munster A 26 - Ireland U20s 24

All eyes were on Irish second-row Donnacha Ryan as he made a successful comeback from a head injury when Munster A took on the Ireland U20s in a challenge game at Thomond Park yesterday.

Munster A coach Mick O’Driscoll added Robin Copeland and Niall Scannell to the mix in a bid to lend increased experience but there was more concern as to how Ryan would fare in his return to action after sustaining two successive concussions against Leinster and Connacht last month. Happily, he came through 50 minutes of competitive action.
