Jones and Archer in Munster squad

Munster coach Tony McGahan has included full-back Felix Jones and tight-head prop Stephen Archer in his squad to prepare for the Magners League game with Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday

Otherwise, it is a case of the usual suspects in the 26-man squad to be led by captain Paul O'Connell.

Munster will require an away win to overtake Edinburgh in their pursuit of leaders Leinster at a time when they are still searching for form.
