“I don’t know if it was in a challenge, he said he’d gone down.
“But yeah, we’ll assess that and I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
Speaking earlier on what he needs to do to be given a more integral role, Monk said:
“He’ll get his opportunities and he’s got to take them. He’s got lads around him pushing hard and he has to match them.”
