Munster could be plunged into yet another scrum-half injury crisis ahead of their tough Heineken Champions Cup trip to Exeter Chiefs next weekend after Johann van Graan admitted he was worried about the fitness of All Black Alby Mathewson. The former Hurricanes and Toulon star had been signed in September on a four-month contract as emergency cover for the injured Conor Murray. With Duncan Williams the only senior scrum-half still fit, Munster may have to dip into their academy for back-up. “I can’t comment on Conor at this stage,” the Munster boss said. “As soon as we know, I’ll let you guys know.”
