Munster wait on injured trio
Munster coach Declan Kidney has left three openings for players to prove their fitness ahead of the Celtic League tie away to Cardiff on Friday evening.
Paul Burke, Trevor Halstead and Shaun Payne will come into the reckoning to round out what looks like a reasonably powerful Munster outfit, given that there are a clutch of players away on international duty.
MUNSTER (v Cardiff Blues): AN Other; John Kelly, Gary Connolly, AN Other, Anthon Pitout; AN Other, Tomas O'Leary; Frank Roche, Jerry Flannery, Federico Pucciarriello, Trevor Hogan, Mick O'Driscoll, John O'Sullivan, David Wallace, Stephen Keogh (capt).
Replacements: Tony Buckley, Eugene McGovern, Denis Fogarty, Shane O'Connor, Frank Cogan, John O'Connor, Mike Prendergast, Paul Burke, Jeremy Manning, Trevor Halstead, Barry Murphy, Shaun Payne, Mossie Lawlor.
