Hammer blows for Munster as big names miss out on Guinness PRO12 final

Rugby is a squad game and the squad will have to stand up to be counted.

Munster are hunting their first piece of silverware in four years this weekend. Unfortunately for their passionate fanbase, Anthony Foley's side will be without a couple of their world-class operators for the occasion. Captain Peter O'Mahony and scrum-half Conor Murray, who both picked up injuries in the tense semi-final win over Ospreys, last Saturday, will miss the match. A club release reads: 'Having failed a late fitness test Peter O'Mahony (hip) is unavailable for selection while injury also rules out Conor Murray. The scrum half met with a specialist yesterday and is required to rehab a medial ligament knee injury for the next 6 weeks.'

MunXV vWarriors: Jones; Earls, Smith, Hurley(c), Zebo; Keats, Williams; Killer, Guinazu, BJ; Holland, PO’C; DRyan, Butler, CJ #MunVGla

Munster take on Glasgow Warriors at Kingspan Stadium, in Belfast, from 6:30pm on Saturday. As expected, the match will be Paul O'Connell's finish one in a Munster jersey. He could sign up with European champions Toulon as early as next week.
