Carney to debut as injury-ravaged Munster face Ulster

FORMER Rugby League star Brian Carney looks set to make his Munster debut against Ulster at Ravenhill tomorrow night, but it will be on side shorn of virtually all its international stars.

But, as always, coach Declan Kidney remained positive, suggesting it was an opportunity for many of his younger players to make their mark.

The Munster pack includes just one player – Jerry Flannery – involved in Ireland’s Six Nations victory over Italy last week, while Frankie Sheahan has also been named on the squad that will be captained by Alan Quinlan.
