Grobler named in Munster A’s despite growing criticism

Gerbrandt Grobler has been named in the Munster A team for tomorrow’s British and Irish Cup match against the Ospreys in Cork.

It means the South African lock, who has been the centre of controversy this week, won’t make his senior debut in Sunday’s Champions Cup clash with Castre at Thomond Park.

Munster have been heavily criticised for recruiting Grobler, who failed a drugs test in 2014 and served a two year ban.

Keith Wood says Grobler should not play for the Province, but another Munster legend – Tipperary’s Alan Quinlan – has a different view.
