'It’s great to get a guy of Keith’s calibre' - Huge boost for Munster with Earls return

Keith Earls. Image: Ben Brady/INPHO MUNSTER ATTACK COACH Mike Prendergast says that getting Irish winger Keith Earls back in action as they head into the crunch block of games which will determine their season is timely.

“He hasn’t played too much rugby but he has been back training fully since yesterday with a spring in his step. It’s great to get a guy of Keith’s calibre and that experience as well to bring back into our group. Prendergast said that all-time top try scorer Simon Zebo, who he coached at Racing 92, is still on a high after notching his 70th try at the Blackrock end in Páirc Uí Chaoimh against South Africa XV two weeks ago.The news remains somewhat uncertain about another Irish winger with Andrew Conway, out since March with a troublesome knee injury, being monitored constantly after his return date was moved out a few times.

Another positive to come out of the South Africa game was the quality of the display of new signing Antoine Frisch in the centre. The French-born, Irish-qualified, centre displayed some deft touches in his first start since his summer move from Bristol Bears and Munster supporters are hopeful he will now make a big impact as they try to ignite their season.
