Flannery back for Clermont clash

-

The Munster side for tomorrow’s Heineken Cup return clash with ASM Clermont Auvergne, shows just one change from the side that started in the game in Clermont last Sunday.

That change comes in the front row where the fit again Jerry Flannery returns in place of Frank Sheahan.

Flannery injured a knee in the international against Argentina but has staged a remarkable recovery to regain his place in the starting XV.
Munster completed their preparations in UL on Wednesday and while Flannery took a full part, Barry Murphy sat out the afternoon session because of a slight back problem but that was purely precautionary and Murphy is fit and well and ready to take his place alongside Lifeimi Mafi in the Munster midfield.

Munster: K Earls; D Howlett, B Murphy, L Mafi, I Dowling; R O’Gara, T O’Leary; M Horan, J Flannery, J Hayes; D O’Callaghan, P O’Connell capt; A Quinlan, N Ronan, D Wallace. Replacements: D Fogarty, T Buckley, D Ryan, J Coughlan, P Stringer, P Warwick, K Lewis.
