A gruesome picture has shown the true extent of an Australia rugby league star's injury - but the club stalwart has vowed to play in their next match after having surgery.
Cameron Munster helped Melbourne Storm to a dramatic 16-12 extra-time victory in their opening game of the season against Parramatta Eels. The 28-year-old's performance was made the more impressive after he received a gruesome injury, with his bone exposed during a challenge on Eels' skipper Clint Gutherson just 28 minutes into the match.
Fans thought they had seen the last of Munster when the star left the pitch with his bloodied hand, only to remarkably return for the second half.
