Cullen nominated for Celtic League gong

All Black Christian Cullen's sizzling October form has been recognised by his nomination as the Guinness Draught Can Celtic League Player of the Month for October.

Munster have moved up the table and Cullen was to the forefront of their improvement with five tries.

Ronan Beirne, Guinness Brand Manager, said: "In addition to the continued top form by Ireland in beating South Africa and the USA., the big talking point in domestic rugby has been the resurgence of Munster.

"Their rise up the Celtic League table was inspired by the brilliance of Christian Cullen, whose five tries throughout October highlighted the true prowess of the former All Black and the merit of the Munster squad.

"I congratulate Christian Cullen on his well deserved nomination as Guinness Draught Can Celtic League Player of the Month for October."
