Horan and Tipoki in Munster squad

Munster coach Declan Kidney pulled no surprises in the 27-strong squad named for the Heineken Cup quarter final joust with Gloucester at Kingsholm on Saturday.

He has been lucky enough to select from a full deck after Rua Tipoki passed a fitness test today.

Marcus Horan, who picked up a back injury during the latter stages of the weekend victory over Connacht, has been included after taking full part in training today.

Denis Leamy is also named after full involvement in this morning's session.

He will have the happy headache of picking a side from a large number of players either returning to form or maintaining it.

MUNSTER SQUAD (v Gloucester) - Forwards: John Hayes, Marcus Horan, Tony Buckley, Federico Pucciariello, Jerry Flannery, Frank Sheahan, Paul O'Connell, Donncha O'Callaghan, Donnacha Ryan, M O'Driscoll, Alan Quinlan, David Wallace, Denis Leamy, Anthony Foley, Niall Ronan.

Backs: Shaun Payne, Denis Hurley, Doug Howlett, Kieran Lewis, Rua Tipoki, Lifeimi Mafi, Brian Carney, Ian Dowling, Paul Warwick, Ronan O'Gara, Tomas O'Leary, Peter Stringer.
