Tipoki set for return against Edinburgh

RUA TIPOKI looks certain to return to Magners League action when Munster take on Edinburgh at Musgrave Park on Saturday (7.30).

Tipoki has recovered from a knee injury sustained against Ulster in January and is included in a 26-man squad. All the indications are that he will be included in the starting line up that will also include Peter Stringer, Keith Earls, Denis Leamy, Alan Quinlan and Mick O’Driscoll, the five internationals released for the game by national coach Declan Kidney.

As Ireland travelled to Cork to begin preparations for the RBS Six Nations clash with England on Saturday week, the Munster squad return today from a week-long warm-weather camp in Lanzarote.
