Munster’s Wolfhounds Called Into National Squad

Johne Murphy, Denis Hurley, Mick O’Driscoll and Donnacha Ryan have been called into the national camp ahead of the RBS Six Nations game against France on Sunday.

Hurley who scored the opening try against the Saxons in Ravenhill and Donnacha Ryan were both in UL this morning with the Munster squad who were preparing for the Magners League game against Benetton Treviso (Sunday).

Tony Buckley, John Hayes and Peter Stringer were also in UL and although Buckley only took a limited part he could still feature in Munster's plans for that game as will Stringer although Hayes will take no part.

And given that Munster's Wolfhounds will not be released until Thursday evening it means they'll have little or no opportunity to train with the squad before it departs for Italy from Dublin Airport on Saturday morning.
