Hot-in-pursuit Ulster will make it tough for Munster

PAUL BURKE looks certain to start for Munster tomorrow night in a crucial Celtic League game against chasing Ulster at Ravenhill.

But Munster, without most of their stars, face a huge test. Short of regular second-row players, they were forced to draft in Brian Madigan, on licence from UL-Bohemians.

Paul O’Connell and Donncha O’Callaghan have not, for various reasons, been released by Irish coach, Eddie O’Sullivan and Mick O’Driscoll is the only experienced second-row available.
