Hurley to start for Munster

Cork Costitution full-back Denis Hurley will make his second start for Munster for the final game of the season against Glasgow Warriors in the Magner's League at Musgrave Park on Saturday, kick-off at 5.30pm.

Hurley is one of two changes to the side with Denis Leamy being preferred to John O'Sullivan. In addition, Donncha O'Callaghan returns to the 22 having missed last weekend with a shoulder injury.

Paul O'Connell made a return to action last weekend having recovered from a broken thumb sustained in the RBS Six Nations game against Scotland, winning the Man of the Match award.

"Whatever about the award," said O'Connell, "I was delighted to get that game under my belt and get through it ok. It was great to be back. You don't normally get man of the match awards unless those around you are performing and I think there were a few who might have been given it (award) instead of me and I would have had no complaints at all."

MUNSTER (v Glasgow): D Hurley; A Horgan, B Murphy, L Mafi, I Dowling; R O'Gara, T O'Leary; F Pucciariello, F Sheahan, T Buckley; M O'Driscoll, P O'Connell capt; A Quinlan, D Leamy, A Foley. Replacements: D Fogarty, F Roche, D O'Callaghan, J O'Sullivan, B O'Meara, J

Manning, M Lawlor.
