Munster handling of Conor Murray faces scrutiny

European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) have launched an inquiry into Munster’s handling of a head injury to Conor Murray during Saturday’s Champions Cup win over Glasgow Warriors.

Munster handling of Conor Murray faces scrutiny

In a game which also saw captain Peter O’Mahony fail a Head Injury Assessment (HIA), Munster’s management of Murray’s HIA is set to come under the scrutiny of an Untowards Incident Review Group (UIRG).

O’Mahony was withdrawn in the 73rd minute of his side’s hard-fought 14-12 win at Scotstoun, which secured Munster’s place in the quarter-finals for the first time in three seasons. The Ireland flanker will now have to complete World Rugby’s return to play protocols if he is to be allowed to face French champions Racing 92 at Thomond Park this Saturday.
