Young Munster fury at IRFU as top players to miss semi-final

Young Munster RFC officials have expressed disappointment that a request to defer Sunday’s Ulster Bank League semi-final against Clontarf has been rejected by the IRFU.

Club Secretary Brendan Collopy said the Limerick side will be forced to field a weakened team as a number of their players are on the Munster A squad which contests the B&I Cup final against Jersey Reds at Musgrave Park on Friday night.

Collopy said the club had made numerous representations to the AIL committee but their requests have fallen on deaf ears.
