Rejuvenated Cullen set for Euro return in Cardiff cauldron

CHRISTIAN CULLEN is poised for a Heineken Cup return in Cardiff tomorrow, after injury, with John Kelly and Barry Murphy ruled out of the clash at the Arms Park.

Kelly (hamstring) and Murphy (shoulder) have a good chance of being fit for the return fixture at Thomond Park next Saturday, but their absence tomorrow could open a window of opportunity for Cullen.

The former All Black star lined out for Munster against Connacht last week and grabbed a try in the process of proving his fitness following another lengthy lay-off.
