Munster coach Tony McGahan has included Jerry Flannery and Denis Hurley in his 26-man squad for Saturday's return match against Clermont Auvergne at Thomond Park.

Hooker Flannery has not played since shipping a knee injury in Ireland's clash against Argentina at Croke Park, but he still remains doubtful for the key game.

Denis Hurley has also been out with a knee injury, picked up in a practice match against UL Bohemian before their clash with New Zealand. His last Munster game came in the Magners League defeat to Ulster at the end of October.
