Boost for Munster as Flannery and Quinlan sign

JERRY FLANNERY and Alan Quinlan have followed Paul O’Connell by agreeing terms that will keep them with Munster, respectively, for three and two years.

Flannery (27) has extended his contract with the IRFU up to the end of the season 2008/09, while Quinlan (31) has signed up until the end of the 2007/08 campaign.

Flannery, who is set to win his fifth international cap against Scotland on Saturday, won his 40th Munster cap in the Heineken Cup victory over Sale.
