Rugby – Munster’s Francis Saili out until Christmas

MUNSTER Rugby centre Francis Saili has been ruled out until at least Christmas following a scope on his injured shoulder. The All Black 13, who was rehabbing a shoulder injury from last season, will miss the first three rounds of Munster’s Champions Cup Campaign. Munster Director of Rugby Rassis Erasmus added “We got a setback with his shoulder. He went in for a scope yesterday but there is some more repair work (needed). It’s going to be an extended lay-off. It wasn’t great news but it is what it is,”
