Munster’s reserves the envy of most sides

ANYBODY doubting the strength in depth in the Munster camp should be reassured by the side being fielded by coach Alan Gaffney for tomorrow’s Celtic League tie against Glasgow at Thomond Park (kick-off 5pm).

The game is being refereed by the South African Jonathan Kaplan, who will also be in charge of next week’s Ireland-England RBS Six Nations clash at Lansdowne Road and the meeting of Scotland and Wales the following weekend.

Even though Ronan O’Gara, Peter Stringer, John Hayes, Paul O’Connell and Anthony Foley are unavailable, Christian Cullen is rested entirely and Rob Henderson and Jim Williams start on the bench, Gaffney’s line-up would still be the envy of most sides in the competition.
