Comment from Head Coach, Lyn Jones:
"â'¬Å"With our squads huge involvement in the Wales match this weekend our preparations for this match have been massively disrupted. The match day squad has not played a fixture in three weeks, but hopefully they can carry the form shown in the Australia fixture into this game and we will not be too rusty"â'¬Â
"â'¬Å"Facing Munster at Thomond Park is one of European rugby"â'¬â"¢s great challenges. They enjoy fantastic and extremely vocal support and it is an intimidating environment when the crowd starts to sing. Munster may be a little low in their Magners League confidence and like us they have been disrupted by their involvement with the national side, but we expect them to be a strong force on their home patch"â'¬Â
"â'¬Å"We had a great win against Australia and we are looking forward to another stern test against consistently one of the best sides in Europe. It will be a big ask but I have great faith in the team we have selected"â'¬Â
Injury and squad availability news
The following ten players are unavailable due to their involvements in the Wales squad against New Zealand:
Sonny Parker, James Hook, Gavin Henson, Shane Williams, Adam Jones, Ian Evans, Jonathan Thomas, Ryan Jones, Duncan Jones and Alun Wyn Jones
We also have six players not available for selection due to injury:
Chris Martenko (shoulder) is returning to fitness and full training, but now looks likely to be available some time in December
Five players will not be available until 2007 "â'¬" Richard Hibbard (shoulder), Matthew Jones (knee), Tim Evans (knee), Craig Mitchell (knee), and David Bishop (knee)
