Coach McGahan keeps the faith
Donnacha Ryan is the only enforced change having injured a hamstring after coming on as a replacement in last Sunday’s defeat at Toulon, which ended the province’s hopes of reaching the Heineken Cup semi-finals for a 13th year in a row.
The other two to miss out at Thomond Park this weekend are Billy Holland and Tommy O’Donnell, neither of whom made the bench at Stade Mayol. Both back-row forwards have been named in the Munster A squad for tonight’s British & Irish Cup tie against Esher at Garryowen’s Dooradoyle ground.
