Hurley in mood to show off his range

AS one of only two players to have kept their place in the side after two Heineken Cup pool victories, Denis Hurley will feel more responsibility than most to get Munster’s defence of their league title back on track when they face Edinburgh tonight.

Making a rare outing at full-back in a back three containing rookie wings Simon Zebo and Luke O’Dea adds to that responsibility but Hurley is relishing the prospect and is thankful to be taking some momentum into the game after two strong performances on the wing against Northampton and Castres.

“I’ve maybe played one senior game at 15 in the last two seasons, so I’m looking forward to getting back playing there,” Hurley said.
