Sheahan withdrawn from Treviso test

Frankie Sheahan, try-scoring Heineken Cup man-of-the-match in Saturday’s heroic 35-14 defeat of Gloucester, has been withdrawn from the Munster side to face Treviso tomorrow evening at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo, due to a knee complaint.

Coach Alan Gaffney, who is seeking to secure his side’s fourth win of the competition and third bonus point, said that the hooker’s withdrawal was a ‘precautionary measure’, and it would ‘not be in the best interest of Frankie’s or the team itself’ if he were to play tomorrow.
