Munster bring back the big guns to face bogey side Cardiff

JOHN HAYES returns after illness to the Munster team for his first Magners League game this season against bogey team Cardiff at Musgrave Park tonight (7.30pm).

Munster bring back the big guns to face  bogey side Cardiff

Munster coach Tony McGahan has selected a totally new front row from the one that started against Newport Gwent Dragons last week, with Jerry Flannery in for Frankie Sheahan and Tony Buckley moving to loose head prop in place of Marcus Horan. Hayes is in for Federico Pucciariello.

McGahan has actually made nine changes from last week’s starting side and it’s a sign of the good times that four of the returnees, Hayes, Paul O’Connell, Ronan O’Gara and Peter Stringer, are four of the most capped international players in the world.
