Veteran Quinlan returns to Munster fold for Blues clash

ALAN QUINLAN is back in the Munster squad for Saturday’s Magners League clash with Cardiff Blues at Musgrave Park (7.30pm).

Quinlan has recovered from a long-term groin injury and is one of eight alterations to the 22-strong squad involved in last week’s huge victory over Newport Gwent Dragons, as coach Tony McGahan lives up to his rotation promise.

Denis Fogarty replaces Frankie Sheahan, Neil Ronan comes in for Donncha O’Callaghan, Quinlan for David Wallace, Tony Buckley for Marcus Horan, Mike Prendergast for Tomás O’Leary, Jeremy Manning for Paul Warwick, Rua Tipoki for Keith Earls, while John Hayes is back for Darragh Hurley.
