Stirling test for Munster’s academy stars

THE Heineken Cup semi-final involving Munster and Saracens is not the only show in town this weekend.

Some of Munster’s brightest academy members, including Scott Deasy and Tommy O’Donnell, are representing the province for the first time at today’s Ondeo City of Stirling Sevens Tournament.

The 10-man squad was selected from available development and academy-contracted players and AIB League club players. It is coached by academy manager Ian Sherwin and John Lacey, regional development manager.
