Safety first but Daly determined to string Munster run together

Shane Daly was entirely comfortable at having to miss the trip to Castres last weekend following a head knock on his 100th Munster appearance but now he is eager to finally get his season up and running with a consistent run in the province’s back three.

The Corkman will return on the left wing when the Reds face Ulster in Belfast on Friday, a day after his 28th birthday and a fortnight after scoring a special try at Thomond Park against Stade Francais.
