All Black legend Christian Cullen’s horrendous run of injuries at Munster will keep him out until February.
Cullen tore ligaments in his shoulder in March and unforeseen complications have frustrated Munster’s medical staff and the man himself.
A Munster statement said: "Complications have occurred with Christian's injury, and are being assessed by the medical team. Christian will not be available to resume playing for Munster until February 2006".
