Penney hopes big guns make the difference

Munster will roll out a couple of heavyweights for their trip to Llanelli tonight.

Ronan O’Gara and Donncha O’Callaghan have been released by national coach Declan Kidney for what amounts to one of the most important games of Munster’s RaboDirect Pro12 campaign.

A win is almost essential if Rob Penney’s side are to bridge the gap between sixth and the top four and it will be a major boost to have the vastly experienced O’Gara and O’Callaghan available, even if neither will be allowed play the full 80 minutes.
