Flannery ruled out of Treviso trip

Jerry Flannery has been ruled out of Munster’s Heineken Cup clash with Treviso on Saturday afternoon.

The Ireland hooker, who is still recovering from an Achilles injury, is aiming to be fit for the start of the Six Nations in February.

Ireland and Munster prop Marcus Horan is also back training, but will not make the trip to Treviso.

Paul O'Connell, Donncha O'Callaghan, Ronan O'Gara, Tomas O'Leary and John Hayes all return and will be named in the starting XV when it is confirmed on Friday.
