MUNSTER HAVE NAMED JJ Hanrahan at out-half for the ‘A’ fixture against Connacht Eagles at Thomond Park tomorrow (KO 3pm, free entry).
The Northampton-bound playmaker starts in a back-line that includes Garryowen’s Neil Cronin, Darren Sweetnam as well as Andrew Conway.
Fresh from his sprint to a disallowed intercept try in the Pro12 meeting with Connacht, Jack O’Donoghue will captain the side from number eight with Paddy Butler and Sean Dougall completing a strong looking back row.
On the replacements bench, loosehead James Cronin is in line for his first action since sustaining a knee injury against Italy on the opening weekend of the Six Nations.
