Johann van Graan angered by late hits on Ben Healy

Following Munster's 21-7 Champions Cup victory over Harlequins, Munster boss Johann van Graan spoke of his frustration with a couple of "unacceptable" late tackles on young fly-half Ben Healy.

Harlequins loose forward Alex Dombrandt was yellow-carded for a shoulder charge on Healy in the 62nd minute while Joe Marler was also penalised for a late hit on the 21-year-old.

Healy is now an injury doubt for next Saturday's trip to Clermont Auvergne.

"We're very worried about Ben, he took two late hits there," insisted van Graan.

"We're going to get him checked out now. It was quite clearly a tactic from the opposition to hit him late and certain things in the game are just unacceptable. He's now got injured because of that."

Munster face Clermont in round two of the competition with their opponents having claimed a massive 51-38 win over the Bristol Bears but van Graan very much welcomes the challenge ahead.

"Clermont are one of the European powerhouses if you look historically. Some big tussles between Munster and Clermont. If you looked at them yesterday, they were excellent the way they started against Bristol.

"It's a massive challenge ahead for us and that's what this competition is about, to challenge yourself against the best teams.

"It's great that Munster and Clermont will go out with their top teams because this is what the competition is about. You always want to play your top teams in this competition," he added.
