Dougall in the shape of his life for new season

Preparing for his second season with Munster, Dougall is hoping to impress coach Rob Penney in the RaboDirect Pro12 clash against Edinburgh at Musgrave Park tomorrow night (7.15pm) and get his name on the Heineken Cup panel which must be finalised by September 19.

Despite Dougall’s frustration at missing out for most of the big games last year, he can look back with pride on his two European appearances when he scored tries against Racing Metro and Edinburgh before a knee ligament injury.
