Big guns ready for derby showdown

THE big boys are back for Leinster and Munster — most of them at least.

Big guns ready for derby showdown

Munster’s Christian Cullen, Shaun Payne and Anthony Horgan have been ruled out, but there’s enough talent to suggest this Magners League clash at Lansdowne Road tonight (7.30pm) will break attendance records.

The bad news for Munster is that they will be without injured their back division trio of Cullen, Horgan and Payne for a longer spell. There was no official news on progress, but it was learned late last night that Horgan will have surgery for slight damage done to knee cartilage. He will be out for up to six weeks.
