As indicated by the Munster head trainer Johann van Graan after the video game, Niall Scannell was taken a look at by the head of their clinical team, Dr Jamie Kearns, because of an allegation that the Munster hooker was bitten by an opposition gamer early in the 2nd half of Saturday evening's video game.

It is comprehended that Munster have submitted their medical report and all pertinent evidence to O'Reilly, Ireland's initial women umpire.

Pertaining to the on-field accusation, van Graan said: "Niall reported that to Pete (O'Mahony) on the pitch, the umpire had a look at it, they couldn't see any type of evidence of it, however we'll experience the right networks.

"He will be (examined). We haven't spoken with the clinical team thus however that will certainly occur later tonite, any player that reports anything to the clinical group will be looked at."

That assessment properly happened in Munster's clinical area in Thomond Park.

Just after Jean Kleyn's try in the 45th min, Scannell as well as O'Mahony notified the referee that the Munster hooker declared that he had been bitten in the build-up to ball game.

Brace referred to his TMO, Brian MacNeice, and also claimed: "I simply wish to have a fast check below since I've an allegation of a bite on red 2. It could be number 4 blue (Adre Smith) on that last one there."

When O'Mahony after that approached Brace once more, the umpire said: "I'm inspecting that Pete but I can only take place the video footage."

In feedback, O'Mahony said: "Yeah, 100 per cent, however he (Scannell) has actually got a full on bite mark."

"I know. I'm examining that. The try is excellent and we're mosting likely to have a fast check but we can just go on the video footage."

Replays reveal both players in a tangle on the ground, as well as when Scannell reaches his feet he turns to the aide referee on that particular side of the pitch, states something and points to his left leg.

Both MacNeice and Dental braces agree that replays showed "absolutely nothing conclusive", on foot of which the referee informs O'Mahony of this, including: "If there's anything clear the pointing out policeman will certainly handle it."

Munster were fortunate to be merely 15-0 down approaching half-time before striking the Stormers with 5 attempts through their pack, so making it two perk factor wins from two versus South African resistance.

A happy van Graan stated: "I would certainly say I am pleased with two bonus offer points, satisfied we revealed composure, satisfied we adapted to what our opponents tossed at us, we have things to service, anticipating review of video game."

Rotating

Expecting next Sunday's game away to the Scarlets, who had a 36-13 bonus factor win in the house to the Lions last Friday after their round one loss in Edinburgh, van Graan said: "We will certainly keep revolving our squad, in some games we will revolve greater than others.

"Clearly we have an eight-day turnaround to the Scarlets, we play them on the Sunday before a brief turn-around for Connacht. We will take a look at our sources and also plan carefully for those two games. In regards to our squad rotation, I back our team as well as I am absolutely mosting likely to keep turning them via the weeks."

New finalizing Jason Jenkins will certainly remain sidelined, while Conor Murray and Tadhg Beirne are probably one more week or two away yet after their Lions physical efforts.

"Jason is on our injured listing. He's done bits as well as bobs of training so hopefully he'll become available and the Lions players will certainly be readily available as quickly as we can select them and also as quickly as they are ready to go.

"They are all differnet, Conor is different to Tadhg. As soon as we are all able to play them and when they are emotionally and also physically ready we'll put them on the pitch."
