Quartet to rejoin Munster ahead of Treviso clash

MUNSTER’S Denis Hurley, Johne Murphy, Mick O’Driscoll and Donncha Ryan will rejoin the province after spending the week on international duty for a first ever Magners League assignment in Italy on Sunday.

Tony McGahan’s table-toppers face Benetton Treviso at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo on Sunday and will travel with an experienced squad, despite international commitments.

Treviso have six wins under their belts, five of those at home and their victims include Leinster, Connacht, Scarlets and Dragons.
