Murray and Jones in for Munster

Munster coach Tony McGahan has named young backs Felix Jones and Conor Murray in his starting line-up for tomorrow night’s Magners League clash with Leinster at Thomond Park, kick-off 7.30pm.

Garryowen scrum-half Murray has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the number nine jersey in recent times. With Tomás O’Leary out injured, Murray has leapfrogged veteran Peter Stringer and Duncan Williams in the pecking order and now looks likely to start Munster’s Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final tie against Brive next weekend. Murray links up with Ronan O'Gara at half back.
