Munster retain Staunton at full-back for Swansea game

JEREMY STAUNTON has been given another opportunity to climb the ladder of Irish full-backs by his selection on the Munster team to meet Swansea at Musgrave Park tomorrow evening (7.30).

Staunton was the star of Munster’s victory over Edinburgh last weekend and made a clear impression on Alan Gaffney, but the coach is making no promises to the Garryowen player at this early stage.

Gaffney has clear views of what he wants from Staunton and has set the player targets which, so far, he has achieved.
