Cullen makes long awaited return as Kidney rests five

CHRISTIAN CULLEN is set to make a sensational return for Munster when they travel to Scotland for tomorrow night’s Celtic League fixture with Border Reivers (7.30pm).

Cullen has been included in a squad of 23; a squad without Denis Leamy, Shaun Payne, Peter Stringer, Tomas O’Leary and Paul O’Connell, who have all been rested.

It’s not certain whether Cullen will start, but it seems he will certainly be given a run with John Kelly and Rob Henderson ruled out for at least two weeks.
