Munster Junior Team Named For Leinster Clash

The Munster team has been named ahead of Saturday’s Junior Interprovincial against Leinster in New Ross RFC (2.30pm).

Munster were narrowly defeated 19-17 by Connacht in Killarney in the first round but responded with an excellent 39-17 win over Ulster in Tralee last weekend.

The Munster management have retained the starting fifteen that started against Ulster in Tralee last Saturday and know that a win may be enough to pick up the trophy.

Replacements: Cathal O’Regan (Clonakilty), Darragh O’Shea (Ballincollig), James Collins O’Brien (Bandon), Graham Smith (Crosshaven), Gearoid Phelan (Richmond), Brian Kissane (Clanwilliam), Olly Young (Charleville & District), Niall Leahy (Clanwilliam), Shane Airey (Newcastle West), Ryan O’Connell (Old Christians).
