Full Strength Munster

Munster coach Declan Kidney will be dealing from a full pack when he sits down with his management team to pick the side to play Saracens in the Heineken Cup semi-final in Coventry’s Ricoh Stadium on Sunday.

Kidney had a full complement for the squad training session conducted in brilliant sunshine at the Sports Bowl in the University of Limerick today and afterwards he named a full strength squad that included Paul O’Connell who was a late cry-off ahead of last weekend’s game against the Ospreys.
Scrum-half Tomas O’Leary sat out the afternoon session having suffered a reaction to a knock he sustained in that Ospreys game but he is expected to be in the mix when the management set about finalising their selection for the semi-final.

Munster: M Horan, F Pucciariello, J Hayes, T Buckley,F Sheahan, J Flannery, P O’Connell, D O’Callaghan, M O’Driscoll, D Ryan, D Wallace, A Quinlan, D Leamy, A Foley, N Ronan.
P Stringer, T O’Leary, R O’Gara, P Warwick, I Dowling, D Howlett, A Horgan, R Tipoki, K Lewis, L Mafi, B Murphy, K Earls, D Hurley, s Payne.
