International stars set to return for Munster

MUNSTER’S international heavyweights will play in the team for the first time this season when Alan Gaffney’s outfit take on Celtic League Champions Llanelli Scarlets at Thomond Park on Sunday.

Ronan O’Gara, Peter Stringer, Anthony Foley, Alan Quinlan, Rob Henderson, Mike Mullins, Donncha O’Callaghan and Paul O’Connell have all been named in the side, although Gaffney has opted to leave British and Irish Lion David Wallace on the bench, naming Denis Leamy at open-side flanker instead.

Having lost all three of their Celtic League games thus far this season, Munster will be anxious to get a win under their belt, even though the coach has confessed that he has not been disappointed with the manner in which his side have been playing.
