Sheridan eager to seize Munster opportunity

At a time when Conor Murray is establishing himself as one of the world’s leading scrum-halves, it must be a little frustrating for the likes of Duncan Williams and Cathal Sheridan, his understudies at Munster, to see exactly what the future might hold.

And that is why, after the mid-term break all the provinces have enjoyed, players are aching to show what they are capable of before the international stars return.

With the big names away, the lesser lights get their chance, and that’s just the way Sligo native Sheridan views tomorrow night’s Guinness Pro12 clash with Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade.
