Kleyn’s only appearance for Munster this season was against Leinster last November.

MUNSTER HEAD COACH Graham Rowntree has allayed fears that Jean Kleyn ’s eye injury is more serious than feared and has confirmed that the World Cup winner will be back for the start of next season.

Advertisement That was his first game back for the province having helped South Africa retain the World Cup after the former Irish international was a surprise call-up by Rassie Erasmus last summer. “There was a bit of confusion in the Irish media that his eye injury may be worse than suggested, but no, he has seen a specialist in America, and he and we are very happy with the plan going forward,” said Rowntree.

A South African journalist on the Zoom call asked Rowntree if Kleyn might actually make his return for the Springboks during the summer — they host Ireland twice in June, also play Portugal and then take part in the Rugby Championship.
