Chris Farrell's season over

Following further consultation with a specialist, Munster have confirmed that centre Chris Farrell will take no further part in this season’s campaign after sustaining an ACL injury while training with Ireland.

The Irish international, who was named man of the match on his 6 Nations debut against Wales, will undergo surgery before commencing his rehabilitation.

“Chris Farrell received treatment on the field earlier today after twisting his knee in the turf,” said the Irish Rugby statement.

“He subsequently jogged on to rejoin the rest of the playing group and felt well.

“He was sent for a precautionary scan this afternoon, which indicated some ligament damage had occurred and he will now see a specialist. Chris is unlikely to be available for the remainder of the Six Nations.”
