Cullen left out of Munster squad

All Black legend Christian Cullen will play not part in Munster's quest to bring the Heineken Cup back to the province.

Coach Declan Kidney named a 26-man squad after their second last training session ahead of the final against Biarritz Olympique on Saturday.

Cullen's ankle injury has not improved sufficiently for him to take his place on the plane to Cardiff.

Forwards Marcus Horan and Paul O'Connell and back John Kelly have been included in the party.

MUNSTER SQUAD (26): S Payne, I Dowling, A Horgan, T Halstead, J Kelly, M Lawlor, R Henderson, T O'Leary, J Manning, R O'Gara, P Stringer; E McGovern, F Pucciariello, M Horan, J Hayes, D Fogarty, J Flannery, T Hogan, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell, M O'Driscoll, D Leamy, A Quinlan, D Wallace, S Keogh, A Foley.
