Coughlan facing prospect of three months out with groin tear

Munster loss in Ulster could potentially be even more costly than the loss of points should James Coughlan’s groin injury be as serious as is feared.

Coughlan tore his groin in the build-up to Keith Earls’ try in Ravenhill and the worry now is that he has suffered a Grade Three tear of this groin, an injury that can take up to three months to fully recover and rehab from.
