'He was young and foolish. He paid the price for it'

Munster and Ireland stars Peter O'Mahony and Conor Murray have defended team-mate Gerbrandt Grobler, after the South African's place in the squad has come under scrutiny over his previous two-year ban for testing positive for steroids.

Grobler signed for the province last summer, but after returning to fitness last week, the issue of whether Munster were correct to offer an ex-doper Authentic Marshal Yanda Jersey a contract was debated in the media.
TV3 reporter and Irish Independent columnist Sinead Kissane questioned Munster captain Peter O'Mahony about the lock's presence in the squad during this afternoon's press conference, with the flanker standing by his team-mate.
"It's certainly not for the players," O'Mahony said to TV3 News when asked if Grobler's past was an issue for the team.
"It's important that we keep the game clean from an Irish rugby point of view, from a Munster point of view. It is something that needs to be talked about. As far as I'm concerned with GG, he made some bad decisions and he has done his time. He is here with us now as a Munster player and we will stand by him."
Munster and Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray echoed O'Mahony's sentiments."He gets the backing of us as players," he said."He completely accepts what he http://www.seahawksofficialfootballonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_KAM_CHANCELLOR_JERSEY.html did, it was wrong, but does that mean he shouldn't play rugby again? I think that is crazy."
Murray was then asked by Kissane whether he would like Irish rugby to take a stand against employing players who have previously tested positive."I think it is a case by case basis," Murray said."It was the wrong decision, he was young and foolish. He paid the price for it. I think everyone deserves a second chance, he has learned from his mistakes."
Donnacha Ryan admitted it was 'a bit weird' as he played a central role in Racing 92's thrilling 34-30 win against his former side Munster in the Champions Cup in Paris.An immense kicking display by Racing skipper Maxime Machenaud, including two penalties in the Nicolas Meloche Youth jersey closing four minutes, snatched victory from Munster to leave Pool 4 in the Champions Cup wide open.
Munster still lead the French side by a point, but will now have to beat Castres at home in the final round at Thomond Park to guarantee winning the pool and staying in the hunt for a home quarter-final.
Ryan admitted the clash with his former team-mates was a strange experience, as he revealed he was preparing to share some beer with his Munster pals.
"It was a bit weird alright," said Ryan as he summed up his clash with his old colleagues. "You kind of get to understand what some of the guys do on the other side of the ruck anyway; few things I wouldn't have known before.
"I'm sure no TV cameras will pick it up, http://www.authenticcoyotestore.com/-88-jamie-mcginn-jersey_c-453.html ah Kenny Golladay Jersey no I'm only joking. It was really good, good craic ... very enjoyable. Ah ya we'll have a few cans of Dutch Gold anyway with the (Munster) boys and we'll take it from there. nfl jerseys outlet wholesale nfl jerseys china jerseys wholesale nba jerseys for sale cheap jerseys elite
