Determined McGahan resists temptation to tinker

MUNSTER coach Tony McGahan clearly sees stability as the key to Magners League success this season.

As the province undertakes a potentially troublesome trip to Edinburgh tonight, McGahan has decided to keep some of his big names in reserve and reward others for what Munster fans believe has been steady progress in the last three weeks.

Consequently, McGahan has made just one change in personnel from the team that started the successful opening league game against Aironi. Alan Quinlan comes into the back row and McGahan has pushed Donnacha Ryan up to the engine room to replace Billy Holland who will, in any event, line out for Munster A against Leinster A in Dublin on Sunday.
