O'Mahony to be given 'every opportunity' to prove fitness for Champions Cup showdown

Munster skipper Peter O’Mahony will be given “every opportunity” to pass fit for this Saturday’s crunch Heineken Champions Cup pool showdown with Exeter Chiefs, head coach Johann van Graan said on Monday.

Ireland vice-captain O’Mahony suffered a rib cartilage injury during Munster’s 41-15 bonus-point win over Gloucester at Kingsholm last Friday night and was immediately rated a serious concern for this weekend’s sold-out Thomond Park Pool 2 shootout with the English Premiership leaders.
