Wednesday Round-Up
Healy citing hearing on Thursday
Leinster prop Cian Healy has been cited for allegedly striking a Toulon player with his knee during Sunday's 24-9 defeat in the European Champions Cup.
Healy was sin-binned in the first half of the loss to the reigning European champions after an incident involving Toulon hooker Guilhem Guirado.
The 28-year-old faces a disciplinary hearing in Paris on Thursday.
The Ireland forward could receive a minimum three-week ban if the act is deemed to have been deliberate.
The match citing commissioner, John Byett from England, made a complaint to European Professional Club Rugby following the incident.
Murray keen to stay with Munster
Munster scrum-half Conor Murray is keen extend his stay at the Irish province when his current deal ends at the end of the current season.
The Ireland international revealed that contract negotiations are ongoing at the moment and he doesn’t see himself considering a switch to big-spending clubs from France or England.
“I make no bones about it,” Murray told the Irish Times.
“This is a great club, a great set-up. It’s my home and there’s an unbelievable set-up here. It’s almost a no-brainer, I’d love to continue playing here.
“Negotiations have started and it’s something you don’t want to be thinking about for these big weeks, so it’s been put on the back burner for these games.
“Maybe after Europe, we’ll look at finishing it off and getting it done so I don’t see too many problems with myself. I love playing here, I love playing in Ireland and I want to continue doing that so… it’s not done yet but hopefully it will be.
“With Munster, we’ve been in Europe for the last three or four years and haven’t done too much. I want to be part of some Munster team that does something,.”
