Munster's fire-pit four "very lucky", says Larkham

Munster’s CJ Stander 

A relieved Munster senior coach Stephen Larkham believes the four players who suffered superficial burns in a fire pit accident on Saturday night are “very lucky” to have escaped with minor injuries.

Ireland internationals Mike Haley and CJ Stander, and South African World Cup winners RG Snyman and Damian de Allende were treated in hospital following the incident. Haley and Stander sustained minor burns on their hands and are set to return to training this week while De Allende and Snyman suffered "more substantial burns to legs, hands and face" and are expected to be out of action for a few weeks, placing question marks over their participation for the Springboks in the upcoming Test series against the British & Irish Lions this July and August.
