Munster call-up for Manning

UNIVERSITY College Cork star, Kiwi Jeremy Manning, could be launched into surprise Celtic Cup action when Munster meet Edinburgh in tomorrow’s quarter-final at Thomond Park.

Manning (20) was added to the 22-man squad yesterday in the absence of the injured Jason Holland. Garryowen out-half Conan Doyle was released to play for his club in the AIB League semi-final against Belfast Harlequins.

Holland’s knee ligament injury means he will play no part in the remainder of Munster’s season.
