Munster's O'Donoghue looks to the future as injury nightmare left in the past

It's 18 months since Jack O'Donoghue damaged ACL and MCL ligaments in his knee when competing at a ruck for Munster against Leinster in a Guinness PRO14 semi-final.

That he was still being asked about his recovery at Wednesday's PRO14 media event in Cardiff is probably testament to how serious an issue it was at the time and a nod to the nine months it took form to return to competitive action.
