Kidney has no fears over Hurley

Munster coach Declan Kidney has no fears about his gamble on Denis Hurley excelling at full-back in this evening's Heineken Cup quarter-final with Guinness Premiership leaders Gloucester.

Making his first Heineken Cup appearance today, Hurley will experience a baptism of fire at Kingsholm and Kidney is convinced that the Cork Con full-back will justify his selection at the expense of the more experienced Shaun Payne.
