Hurley back in Munster squad

Denis Hurley returns to Munster's match-day squad as the only change for Sunday's Magners League clash with Newport-Gwent Dragons at Musgrave Park.

Specialist full-back Hurley will take the place of Rua Tipoki in the squad. This could possibly open the way for Keith Earls to play in the centre beside Lifeimi Mafi.

Tight-head prop John Hayes has still not fully recovered from the bout of illness that forced his withdrawal on the morning of the game against Edinburgh.

MUNSTER SQUAD (v The Dragons): F Pucciariello, M Horan, J Flannery, F Sheahan, T Buckley, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell, M O'Driscoll, D Ryan, J O'Sullivan, J Melck, D Wallace, T O'Leary, P Stringer, R O'Gara, P Warwick, I Dowling, L Mafi, B Murphy, D Howlett, K Earls, Denis Hurley.
