“We would like to thank all at Munster Rugby and University Hospital Limerick for their care and support, as well as those within the rugby community who have reached out.”
29-year-old Young has four Wales caps to his name, having won his most recent against Fiji in November.
The flanker is due to join Cardiff next season.
Good news. Hope he gets back to 100% quickly and Wasps have a good season. Very gracious of them to send their thanks as well…
That is very good news. We wish him well. Nice of Wasps to acknowledge the Red Cross, ULH and the supporters.
