McGahan names squad to take on All Blacks

Munster coach Tony McGahan has named a less than full-strength 23-man strong squad of players to take on New Zealand at Thomond Park next Tuesday.

Munster coach Tony McGahan will be denied most of the players involved for Ireland against the All Blacks on Saturday, but he could be in a position to add to his squad.

McGahan offered: "Right now these are the players we have training at the moment while the autumn internationals are taking place. Obviously those games take precedence and we have to just wait and see what the international management require in terms of players following on from the All Blacks game with another international to face into.

MUNSTER SQUAD (v All Blacks):

Federico Pucciariello, Timmy Ryan, Dave Ryan, Frank Sheahan, Denis Fogarty, Donncha Ryan, Mark Melbourne, James Coughlan, John O'Sullivan, Niall Ronan, Justin Melck, Billy Holland, Barry Murphy, Kieran Lewis, Brian Carney, Anthony Horgan, Doug Howlett, Lifeimi Mafi, Rua Tipoki, Paul Warwick, Jeremy Manning, Conor Murray, Mike Prendergast
