Graham Rowntree: 'Jager and O'Donoghue two injuries we really didn't need'

Jager was floored by a double tackle from Connacht forwards Joe Joyce and Finlay Bealham that was deemed to be fair by match officials while O’Donoghue was the victim of an illegal cleanout.

Oli Jager of Munster awaits medical attention after sustaining an injury.

Graham Rowntree was left to rue a late collapse that cost Munster the game at URC derby rivals Connacht on Monday while counting the cost of further injuries to his already threadbare squad.

A late Jack Aungier try and the goal-kicking of JJ Hanrahan consigned Rowntree’s men to a third successive defeat that leaves them winless since December 1 after 22-9 defeat played out in appalling conditions as heavy rain fell throughout at The Sportground.
