Stringer and Carney return to Munster squad

Ireland Rugby World Cup members Peter Stringer and Brian Carney return to the Munster squad ahead of their Magner's League away date with The Ospreys on Sunday.

Alan Quinlan and Frank Sheahan made their returns for Munster last weekend as replacements in the game against Cardiff Blues.

It should provide an energising element for the quartet as they look to repair the psychological damage by a month in France.

FORWARDS: F Pucciariello, T Buckley, Darragh Hurley, D Fogarty, S Cronin, F Sheahan, M Melbourne, M O'Driscoll, B Holland, N Ronan, T O'Donnell, J Coughlan, A Quinlan, A Foley;
