Munster banking on young talents to make a mark

Thomond Park plays host to rugby of a slightly different variety this weekend when 12 teams battle for the inaugural Limerick World Sevens.

Munster represent the home challenge and under coach Colm McMahon are confident of at least reaching tomorrow’s knockout stages.

Established players Gerhard Van den Heever, skipper Ronan O’Mahony, Luke O’Dea along with exciting young talents like Cian Bohane, Rory Scannell, Stephen Fitzgerald, Ryan Murphy and Darren Sweetnam have McMahon in optimistic mood heading into the weekend
