MUNSTER’S NEW DIRECTOR of Rugby Rassie Erasmus only had to wait until the midway point of the first-half of his opening game in charge to suffer his first injury setback of the new season, as full-back Simon Zebo hobbled off in Wales.
The Irish province are taking on the Scarlets in their first game of the new Pro12 season, and the news will also be a concern for Irish coach Joe Schmidt with the Autumn internationals just a couple of months away.
Zebo, who appeared to suffer the knock as he attempted a try-saving tackle, will be hoping the injury doesn’t keep him on the sidelines for too long, after the Cork man suffered a couple of injury-plagued seasons.
The 26-year-old was replaced by Ian Keatley.
