Rassie Erasmus ‘nervous for CJ Stander and Conor Murray’ as Munster’s injury worries mount

Donnacha Ryan and Tyler Bleyendaal are also doubtful for the Champions Cup semi-final.

Munster Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus is keeping his fingers crossed that five key players will be available for the European Champions Cup match against Saracens at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday week, writes Charlie Mulqueen.

While he more or less ruled internationals Conor Murray and CJ Stander out of Saturday’s Pro 12 clash with Ulster at Thomond Park, he gave both of them a “good chance” of lining out against Saracens.
