Kidney Names Squad for Saracens Clash

Declan Kidney has named an extended 26 man Munster squad ahead of Friday night’s pre season game against Alan Gaffney’s Saracens at Musgrave Park (kick off 6.30pm).

Billy Holland is named in place of the injured John O’Sullivan, who picked up a knee injury during Munster’s game against USA in Chicago last week.  Team management are awaiting the outcome of a medical report which will determine how long O’Sullivan will be sidelined. 

Friday’s game has a 6.30pm kick off to allow rugby fans enjoy a feast of rugby action on the night, as France take on Argentina in the opening game of the Rugby World Cup at 8pm (GMT).

Munster’s final pre season game takes place on Friday 14th September when Italian side Viadana pay a visit to Cork.
