Blow for Munster as duo ruled out of Northampton clash

RG Snyman and Shane Daly will both miss this weekend’s match.

MUNSTER HAVE suffered a setback with the news that RG Snyman and Shane Daly will miss Sunday’s Champions Cup match against Northampton.

The duo were originally named in the starting XV but it is now confirmed they will be unavailable.

Snyman has been ruled out due to illness while Daly picked up a knock in training on Friday.

After being selected on the bench initially, Tom Ahern and Seán O’Brien will start the game instead of the ruled-out duo.

Ahern slots in at second row alongside captain Tadhg Beirne, while O’Brien starts on the right wing, with Simon Zebo moving to the left.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old back row Jack O’Donoghue and Academy winger Shay McCarthy have been added to the bench.
