Heineken Cup – Munster Name Unchanged Side

Munster have kept faith with the side that saw off the challenge of Stade Francais in the quarter-final, for Sunday’s sell-out clash with favourites London Wasps at Lansdowne Road.

The sides were formally announced yesterday at City West Hotel where London Wasps coach Warren Gatland also announced an unchanged side from the one that demolished Gloucester at the quarter final stage.

Wasps arrive in Ireland this (Fri) afternoon while Munster will travel up by train tomorrow (Sat) morning arriving in Dublin’s Heuston station at 11.45.
