Munster aiming to continue good run

MUNSTER bid for their fourth successive victory in the A Interprovincial championship when they face Connacht this evening at Thomond Park (6.30pm).

Munster, who have won home and away against Ulster and defeated Leinster in Clonmel, will fancy their chances against a side which includes former Irish open side flanker Jonny O’Connor, Ireland U20 full-back Tiernan O’Halloran and a number of others who have figured in the Magners League.

It is a big night for Ciaran O’Boyle, the Garryowen winger, and Dolphin prop Dave Ryan, who return from injury. O’Boyle was building a sizeable reputation last season when he scored tries in his first two Magners League games against the Dragons and Edinburgh before tearing a hamstring and spending almost 12 months on the sidelines.
