Munster welcome internationals back for Magners League

Coach Tony McGahan has welcomed back his Irish internationals Ian Dowling, Peter Stringer, Donnacha Ryan and Marcus Horan for the Magner's League clash with Edinburgh at 8pm on Friday night in Musgrave Park.

It comes hot on the heels of Jean de Villiers decision to leave the province at the end of the season.

With this in mind, McGahan will be heartened to see the likes of Academy backs Scott Deasy and Duncan Williams included in the extended squad, alongside the experience of Paul Warwick, Lifeimi Mafi and de Villiers.

MUNSTER SQUAD (v Edinburgh): C O'Boyle, S Deasy, D Hurley, D Howlett, I Dowling, T Gleeson, L Mafi, J de Villiers, P Warwick, D Williams, P Stringer, B Holland, J Coughlan, N Ronan, T O'Donnell, A Quinlan, I Nagle, M O'Driscoll, D Ryan, M Sherry, D Fogarty, Dave Ryan, T Buckley, J Brugnaut, M Horan.
