Quinlan fails to make starting 15

Alan Quinlan is the odd one out from four international players vying for the back row positions in Munster's assignment at Castres Olympique in the Heineken Cup tomorrow night.

Coach Alan Gaffney has decided to go with captain Anthony Foley, David Wallace and Jim Williams to play behind the illustrious pairing of Paul O'Connell and Donncha O'Callaghan.

Mossie Lawlor and Anthony Horgan are selected on the wings and Shaun Payne has been preferred to Mike Mullins in the centre.

MUNSTER (v Castres): Christian Cullen; Mossie Lawlor, Shaun Payne, Rob Henderson, Anthony Horgan; Ronan O'Gara, Peter Stringer; Marcus Horan, Frank Sheahan, John Hayes, Donncha O'Callaghan, Paul O'Connell, Jim Williams, David Wallace, Anthony Foley (capt).

Replacements: James Blaney, Gordon McIlwham, Trevor Hogan, Alan Quinlan, Mike Prendergast, Paul Burke, Mike Mullins.
