Damian de Allende has revealed that last weekend's fire pit accident, which left the Springbok centre and three of his Munster team-mates with superficial burns, was caused by an explosion after one of the players threw petrol on the fire. Munster released a medical update on Monday evening to say that De Allende, his Springbok colleague RG Snyman and CJ Stander and Mike Haley had suffered burns following a 'fire pit accident'. Stander and Haley could return to training this week, but De Allende and Snyman have been stood down from their respective training and rehab programmes. The South African pair will meet the specialist again later this week for an update on their condition and recovery time. Munster are due to hold their weekly press conference on Tuesday afternoon ahead of Friday's Rainbow Cup game against Zebre in Italy.
