The word 'indefinite' is worrying.

Am dying to see how the selection goes for this and the Ulster match. My own inclination would be to go full strength vs Munster and rotate the week later. More than anything, I'd like to see Johnny starting on Saturday for the added emotion and statement of intent it would bring.

I don't know how the setback occurred but it happened around a month ago so I doubt he was even doing contact at that stage because he'd only been back on the pitch for a week or two. Poor guy, hopefully the focus on getting back rather than rushing back will do the trick. I always remember Keith Gleeson saying that ankle injuries are tricky and that you can be healthy but not sharp. I think he said he was back playing for the guts of a year before he was suddenly back to normal one day.

You have to feel for the lad, at this stage he must be thinking that he will never get a break.
He has played very little rugby over the last 2 years, and you’d have to wonder if he will get near a pitch in the next 12 months.
Hopefully this is just a setback, and he eventually gets a good run of games to show the world what he is obviously capable of.
From a Munster point of view, I hope that they do not go to the market looking for a replacement.
If they do, it would be good to see Johnson making a return.

Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.

Disaster for carbery. Hopefully it’s just a sensible treatment to properly sort an issue. There’s a lot of guys who’ve looked cooked and they return and get another 4/5 years.
Re Munster please Trust our own. No short term cover please. JJ will do fine
Find out of any of flannery/Healy/Crowley are up to the level required. And if not cull.
My guess is Crowley will come to the fore.

As repeatedly mentioned on here, JVG is under pressure to win silverware, with some saying that he won’t be around long if he doesn’t, or things to that effect, so the duration of this layoff should dictate Munster’s next move.
With JJ it is not impossible to win big games, but if he was to get injured, then Munster would be in a very sticky position.
Crowley is very promising, but it would be very unfair to think that he would be able to step in and lead Munster in a HC game, likewise with Healy.
If Joey is likely to return during the group stages of the HC, or if Munster were to get a favourable draw, then by all means they should plough on with what they have.
Right now Munster are minus their first and second choice out halves with the retirement of Tyler and this injury, not too many teams could expect to be competitive using their 3rd and 4th choice out halves.

Tough for Carbery. Hope they don’t rush him back for big games.

Re: Munster in the Aviva, August 22nd, 7.35pm KO
So Munster are looking for injury cover for Carbery..... does that mean stealing one of ours (after they got rid of bill johsnston) or given more money to sign another foreign player

“All options will remain on the table,” Johann van Graan said in a virtual press conference yesterday.
“As always, we’ll look to fill within first and then we’ll be in constant communication with David (Nucifora) as to the future but in terms of what’s coming short term, we’re really excited to look at what we have."

Ryan Baird to start with Scott Fardy. Porter at TH ahead of Furlong. Really strong team I hear. Can't wait.
