Hurley in against Blues, Kelly, Murphy also back

DARRAGH HURLEY is in the Munster team for today’s Heineken Cup clash with Cardiff Blues at Thomond Park (5.35pm, Sky Sports).

The 21-year-old prop is one of three changes made by the coach Declan Kidney from the team that started the game against the Blues in Cardiff last week.

Hurley takes over from Federico Pucciariello, while John Kelly and Barry Murphy return to the side after recovering from injury. They replace Tomas O’Leary and Lifeimi Mafi respectively, both of whom will join Pucciariello in the list of replacements.
