Hanrahan full-back against the Dragons

GUINNESS PRO12:

There has been considerable speculation as to whether the young Kerryman is best suited to his customary out-half position or if he could be used even more usefully as first centre alongside Ian Keatley. However, this latest move by Anthony Foley suggests the Munster head coach believes Hanrahan may well have other strings to his bow.

Foley has once again shaken up his squad, this time numbering seven changes, and two more positional switches, from the side that earned a late victory over Cardiff Blues on their last visit to Wales three weeks ago. Argentinian hooker Eusebio Gwinazu makes his first start, veteran Donncha O’Callaghan returns to the second-row to lead the side and Robin Copeland, after picking up his firs Irish cap on Sunday last, is included at number eight.
