Shannon rise

Shannon will stage a press conference tomorrow morning (12.0) ahead of their AIB League game with Dungannon at Thomond Park to voice their concerns at what they perceive to be a deterioration in the club scene and what they believe is IRFU inaction on the problem. For tomorrow's match they will be without their five internationals and must also field a rejigged backline.

Andrew Thompson partners John Davis in midfield with Maurice Lawlor on the left wing and David Delaney coming in at outhalf.
