Ryan pulls out of Treviso game

Munster's prop problems continue as Dave Ryan was ruled out of the squad to prepare for the Heineken Cup game against Treviso this Saturday in Thomond Park.

Tony Buckley, Julien Brugnaut, Marcus Horan and Darragh Hurley are the four men jostling for inclusion at one and three.

Otherwise, it is all steam ahead for the province as coach Tony McGahan seeks a confidence-boosting five points against the Italians.

MUNSTER SQUAD (v Treviso): M Horan, T Buckley, J Brugnaut, D Hurley, D Fogarty, J Flannery, M O'Driscoll, P O'Connell, D O'Callaghan, D Ryan, A Quinlan, D Wallace, N Williams, D Leamy, N Ronan, T O'Leary, P Stringer, T Morland, R O'Gara, P Warwick, L Mafi, J De Villiers, D Howlett, D Hurley, I Dowling, K Earls.
