Munster coach Declan Kidney has named an extended 29-man squad for Saturday's Pool Four decider against Leicester at Thomond Park.

There is still no place for the hugely influential Trevor Halstead, who injured a leg in the recent trip to Newport in the Celtic League, and will be sorely missed against a Leicester side intent on smashing Munster's unbeaten home record.

And with injury concerns lingering over Frankie Sheahan, David Wallace and Marcus Horan in the wake of last Sunday's win over Bourgoin, Kidney has elected to keep his options open at this stage. The trio took no part in the field session during training earlier today.

While the Heineken Cup champions have already guaranteed their place in the knockout stages, the winner of Saturday's clash will top the group and guarantee themselves home advantage in the quarter-finals.
