Munster may press McMahon into action

COLM McMAHON could be pressed into action as a winger for Munster’s Celtic League quarter-final with Connacht at Musgrave Park on Friday.

Munster coach Alan Gaffney is running out of backline options because of injuries to Rob Henderson, John Kelly, Dominic Crotty, John O'Neill, Anthony Horgan and Jeremy Staunton.

The news is better as far as the pack is concerned, with Paul O'Connell and Donnacha O'Callaghan certain to be available for selection.
