Squad News: Munster coach Declan Kidney has recalled a number of Irish internationals to his 26-man squad ahead of Saturday's Magners Celtic League clash with Ulster at Musgrave Park.
Ronan O'Gara, Marcus Horan, Donncha O'Callaghan, Paul O'Connell and Mick O'Driscoll have all been included in Kidney's squad which was named after today's training session at Garryowen.
Jerry Flannery is also included after he returned to senior provincial action for the first time since the Heineken Cup game against Wasps. Flannery did have a run out with the Munster A side last week and was particularly prominent in training today.
Munster are currently fourth in the table and will look to go second behind Leinster should they win against a rejuvenated Ulster side under coach Matt Williams, who has named a 22-man squad for the sellout fixture.
Like other provincial coaches Williams has also benefited from returning international players. Hooker Rory Best returns to captain a squad that includes Tommy Bowe, Paddy Wallace and Andrew Trimble .
Italian lock Carlo Del Fava is also named after recovering from a knee injury he picked up during Italy's victory over Scotland in the Six Nations. Rob Dewey has also been sidelined with a knee injury but hopes to be fit in time for the weekend.
Dewey's fellow Scottish international Simon Danielli isn't named in the squad following his ankle injury on Saturday and is currently being assessed by the Ulster Rugby medical team.
Kick-off on Saturday is at 7.30pm.
