Opportunity knocks for Munster fringe players

MUNSTER have named a team mixed with youth and experience for their pre-season clash with London Irish at Thomond Park Stadium tonight (7pm).

London Irish head coach Toby Booth equated Munster to French side Biarritz, their most recent opponents: “Munster, like Biarritz, is another formidable opponent and will offer another big challenge for us. This game represents the end of a focused pre-season campaign which is important going into the start of the Aviva Premiership and the London double-header.”

The exiles will start Adrian Jarvis at fly half and Daniel Bowden will play in the inside centre position.
