CLOSE-UP RABAH SLIMANI

Clermont prop v JOSH WYNCHERLEY Munster prop

Wyncherley faced the formidable challenge of taking on seasoned France prop Slimani in his own back-yard on his European debut.

Despite one early set-back, the 21-yearold quickly found his feet at the scrum to give the 57-cap Slimani nightmares and lay the foundations for a stunning comeback.

Wyncherley shunted Slimani back time and time again until he was hauled off with just 54 minutes gone.
