Gaffney refused to give exact reason for omission.

MUNSTER’S preparations for tomorrow’s Celtic League clash with Edinburgh have taken an unusual twist with the exclusion of Jeremy Staunton from the squad.

Staunton, who has been first choice out-half in the absence of World Cup tied Ronan O’Gara, was left out for “disciplinary reasons.”

He has been replaced by Jason Holland who moves from the centre and Conrad O’Sullivan is included in the team, the only alteration from the team that defeated the Celtic Warriors in Limerick last Friday.
