Edinburgh aim to do the double on Munster

EDINBURGH are boosted by the return of veteran Scott Murray and Munster by Paul O’Connell for the Magners League game at Murrayfield tonight.

Both will lead their teams. While Edinburgh will be seriously depleted because of injury, Munster coach Declan Kidney appears to have another trick up his sleeve after naming Brian Carney at full-back. The former Rugby League star was called into the Irish squad for the tour to Argentina earlier this week.

Tonight’s game is relatively inconsequential between two mid-table sides, but Kidney has pushed Carney into a new role and that will arouse its own share of interest — in Ireland at least.
