Academy 22 Named

Munster Academy manager Ian Sherwin has confirmed the replacements for Thursday’s challenge match against the Irish U20s.

Earlier in the week Sherwin announced the starting XV and today confirmed the bench.  The side is made up of academy, sub academy and club players. 

Ian Sherwin commented “It’s important that Munster take these fixtures so players are exposed to a higher level of play and I think it’s important to assist the Irish U20s in their preparation for the 2010 Six Nations campaign.  This fixture provides a perfect opportunity to see academy players and sub academy players come together, and it is a chance for all players to impress.”
