I understand Munster have clear footage of the incident that led to Gavin Coombes alleging that he'd been grabbed in the groin area by a Leinster player. That footage will be available to the citing commissioner

Official publication day for ‘The Walls’ yesterday Loved working with James on this because of his willingness to open the doors to his home & to his mind There’s so much more to his story than the social media snaps and I’m grateful he trusted me to help him tell it

Blow for Leinster and a worry for Ireland as I understand Sam Prendergast will miss the Munster game with an arm injury. Ireland play Argentina in 15 days' time
