Graham injury blow

Darcy Graham was forced off with a knee injury in the first half of Edinburgh’s defeat by Munster.

The Scotland winger has been in great form for club and country and scored his ninth try in this season’s URC with an interception against Munster. But he never recovered from a hefty tackle a few minutes later and was replaced by Jaco van der Walt.

“It’s his knee,” said Mike Blair, the Edinburgh coach. “Somethinginoraroundhis MCL [medial cruciate ligament] but I’m not too sure how bad it is at the moment. He was able to walk off, which was good, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

Edinburgh led Munster 17-7 but conceded a try just beforehalf-timeandfailedto score a single point after the interval, losing 38-17.

“In the second half we looked panicky on the ball, we tried to force things and we lacked all composure,” said Blair. “That team we put out on the pitch should have been in a position to win that game. I am really disappointed.”
