Kidney bloods new boys ahead of Cup

WITH one eye on the Heineken Cup, Munster coach Declan Kidney stays in experimental mode by including all of his three new outside signings for the Celtic League derby with Leinster at Musgrave Park tomorrow (3pm).

South Africa Trevor Halstead was first in a few weeks back. Next came Gary Connolly, the former Great Britain and then Ireland Rugby League player, who impressed with two tries on his debut against Connacht last week.

Tomorrow, Anthon Pitout, the highly-rated Free State Cheetahs and South African Sevens star, will start on the left wing.
