Gaffney names squad to take on Ospreys

Munster coach Alan Gaffney has chosen to list a 26-man squad for the top-of-the-table clash with Neath-Swansea Ospreys at Musgrave Park on Saturday evening.

Gaffney is probably torn between resting some of his international contingent and administering a double body-blow to the Ospreys in the form of taking the points in the Celtic League and getting in a psychological advantage ahead of their Heineken Cup encounter in the New Year.

MUNSTER SQUAD (v Ospreys): Paul Burke, Tom Bowman, Christian Cullen, Paul Devlin, Jerry Flannery, Anthony Foley, John Hayes, Marcus Horan, Rob Henderson, Anthony Horgan, Trevor Hogan, Stephen Keogh, Denis Leamy, Gordon McIlwham, Mike Mullins, Donncha O'Callaghan, Paul O'Connell, Ronan O'Gara, Shaun Payne, Alan Quinlan, Eoin Reddan, Frank Roche, Frank Sheahan, Peter Stringer, James Storey, Jim Williams.
