CJ Stander among four Munster Rugby players injured in 'fire pit accident'

Four Munster Rugby players have been injured in a "fire pit accident", the club has confirmed.

Mike Haley, CJ Stander, Damian de Allende and RG Snyman all suffered "superficial burns" in the incident over the weekend.

Munster manager Johann van Graan has said that the players are all "ok" but they are a doubt for Friday's Guinness Pro14 Rainbow Cup game with Zebre.

Springbok stars de Allende and Snyman, who suffered "more substantial burns to legs, hands and face", are now serious doubts for the upcoming Lions Tour to South Africa.

Van Graan said: "We are hugely relieved that the lads are all ok.

“The players have all been treated and are being well looked after with Damian and RG meeting the specialist again later this week to review next steps of their recovery.”

Meanwhile. the province's medical team have also confirmed that Conor Murray, Chris Farrell and Roman Salanoa all returned to training in preparation for Friday night’s clash.
