Munster Wait on Sheehan

Frank Sheehan is among Munster’s walking wounded ahead of their Heineken Cup clash with Harlequins at Thomond Park (3pm) on Saturday. As a result, Munster coach Declan Kidney has delayed naming his bench as he awaits medical reports on Sheehan as well as other key players.

Definitely out of the side is scrum-half Peter Stringer who has a broken bone in his heel and will be out of action for 3-4 weeks.

Internationals John Hayes, David Wallace and Rob Henderson are all fighting to regain fitness while Paul O’Connell – ruled out earlier in the week – was cleared to resume training yesterday (Wed).

Munster. Dominic Crotty; John Kelly, Mike Mullins, Jason Holland, Anthony Horgan; Ronan O’Gara, Mike Prendergast; Marcus Horan, AN Other; Peter Clohessy, Mick Galwey capt, Mick O’Driscoll; Jim Williams, Alan Quinlan, Anthony Foley.
