Munster's Robin Copeland available after resolving passport issue

New Munster signing Robin Copeland has confirmed he has a passport and is ready to go for Munster’s PRO12 game this weekend.

The back row signed for the province from Cardiff this summer. A slight injury kept him out of action last weekend but he was expected to be available for this Friday’s away game against Treviso.

A tweet from the player early this afternoon said that items had been stolen from him, including his passport.

Having your passport stolen along with all your kit, boots and other belongings the day before your about to travel is not fun! 😡😰😞

In the last hour, however, he has tweeted a picture of himself holding a passport captioned, “What's everybody worrying about??? I got this!”

Munster will be hoping for a strong result against Treviso on Friday as the player reviews controversy followed by last weekend’s shock home defeat have made for a difficult start to the season for Anthony Foley’s men.
