WATCH: They will glue the protector to my head: John Cooney

Ulster scrumhalf, John Cooney, suffered a second laceration to his head during the loss to Munster in the Guinness PRO14.

In spite of wearing protective head gear for the game in Limeirck, Cooney removed it and took another knock.

He required five stitches in the wound to add to the nine he had received following a scalp wound during the game against Southern Kings in South Africa almost three weeks ago.

Cooney explains why he took the head gear off and believes it needs to be glued on at Kingspan Stadium on Friday night for the visit of Connacht.
