Munster will have rookie hooker on bench

With Mike Sherry ruled out, Munster will have to name one of two rookie hookers to fill the Heineken Cup squad for Sunday’s clash with Perpignan at Thomond Park.

Coach Rob Penney will make the call today and it rests between inexperienced duo, 23 year-old Duncan Casey or 21 year old Niall Scannell.

Neither has been capped for the senior team so this will be a massive step up for the rookies.
