South African Gerbrandt Grobler received a very warm welcome in Thomond Park as he made his Munster debut as a second-half substitute against Zebre in the Pro14.
Munster have been criticised for signing a player who had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, and after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury, Grobler finally saw game time when he replaced Jean Kleyn in Munster's 33-5 win.
Munster took the unusual step of releasing a statement on Grobler to coincide with naming their team this week and they reiterated their support for the second-row.
"In relation to Gerbrandt Grobler's selection for the Womens Rob Ramage Jersey province, Munster Rugby and the IRFU wish to reiterate that Gerbrandt, as a member of the Munster squad and living by our values, will continue to be considered for selection during his time with the province, once deemed fit," said a statement from Munster and the IRFU.
"While some hold the view that rugby should provide no road back for those that have taken a banned substance in the past, it would not be within the spirit and values of rugby to turn its back on every person that ever made a bad decision, having made restitution.
"Irish Rugby is recognised as operating one of the most stringent testing environments of any rugby nation with a zero tolerance approach to doping in the sport. The province and Irish Rugby are fully supportive Womens Terence Newman Jersey of all WADA http://www.officialmarinershop.com/Jarrod_Dyson_Jersey and World Rugby anti-doping policies.
"Gerbrandt Grobler served a two-year ban from rugby and returned to play for Racing 92 in November 2016 as per the process set out by World Rugby."Paul O'Connell is hopeful that he will return to Munster in a coaching capacity, but the former Ireland and Lions captain has stressed that he is happy to take his time http://www.broncosfootballofficialstore.com/Todd_Davis_Jersey in getting there.
O'Connell took his next step on the coaching ladder when he became forwards coach with the Ireland U-20s. Johann van Graan already revealed that he is keen to have the 38-year-old involved, and O'Connell sat down with the Munster boss before Christmas.
"My aim is to do things that I enjoy and I'm really enjoying the U-20s now," O'Connell (pictured) told the Irish Independent."I chatted to Johann. I chat to Felix (Jones) and Jerry (Flannery) a lot, because I'm interested in Munster and because they are my friends. mlb baseball jerseys hockey jerseys baseball jerseys wholesale nike nfl jerseys china |
