From Twickenham to Kinsale: Munster’s World Cup star to make debut in B&I Cup

From Twickenham to West Cork in three weeks.

Munster's high-profile World Cup signing may have had a different venue in mind for his debut, but Friday night is unlikely to be one he forgets. At the end of last month Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino played 2 matches in the space of five days in Twickenham as Argentina lost their World Cup semi-final to Australia and were defeated by South Africa in the bronze medal match. Tomorrow he will face Yorkshire Carnegie at Kinsale RFC in the B&I Cup. Signed on a three-month contract, the 30 year old will be looking to impress as he seeks a long-term deal with Munster, and with this weekend's Champions Cup encounter with Stade Francais cancelled the B&I Cup is the only show in town. It could be worse. The game could have been played on Tuesday. https://twitter.com/eddy_weather/status/666646582545264640 According to Accuweather, Kinsale will be comparatively mild tomorrow evening for Mick O'Driscoll's men's clash with their English visitors.
