Holland stands-by for Henderson

JASON HOLLAND is on standby if Rob Henderson fails to be fit for Munster’s Heineken Cup Pool Four clash against Ospreys at Thomond Park on Saturday.

Coach Alan Gaffney believes Henderson, who suffered a head injury in the Celtic League match against Leinster, will be fit though his training has been curtailed. Indeed Holland was conspicuous in the centre alongside Mike Mullins in yesterday’s session.

Nevertheless, Henderson has been included in a list of 12 backs though there is no place for John Kelly, who has not fully recovered from a heavily bruised ankle. Kelly suffered a slight reaction this week when he played a practice match for Cork Constitution.
