How long has Josh Wycherley been out of action now? Well, put it this way, Graham Rowntree still had another four weeks to run before leaving Munster when the loosehead last played for the province.

The second of Wycherley’s appearances this season came back in late September away to Zebre. It was in training the following week when he hit a maul, his neck tilted to the right and one of his discs slipped out, prolapsed and literally touched a nerve.
