Munster ‘A’ Squad To Face Ospreys Development

Head Coach Peter Malone has named his Munster A side to take on Ospreys Development on Friday night in Irish Independent Park (7.30pm).

As expected, it’s a new-look Celtic Cup squad this season with only two players, Paddy Kelly and Charlie O’Doherty, returning from last season.
