Devlin to face old friends

MUNSTER will face an old friend when they meet Cornish Pirates in the inaugural British & Irish Cup final in Camborne on Sunday (6pm).

Paul Devlin, who played a Heineken Cup match for the Irish province during the 2003/04 campaign, is a member of the Pirates squad and scored a try in their victory early in the B & I Cup campaign against Exeter.

Now 29, Devlin also played Union with Sale Sharks and Albi in the French Championship while also making a name for himself in league at Widnes Vikings. He was also a member of the Irish U21 World Cup team in South Africa in 2002.
