Byrne included as fitness battle continues

Lee Byrne has been named in Ospreys' 24-man squad to face Munster on Sunday, despite continuing to struggle with an ankle injury.The full-back has not played since having to leave the field during Wales' loss to Ireland in the final Six Nations game last month.But he has been included in coach Sean Colley's initial list of players to travel for the Heineken Cup quarter-final, although two names are yet to be cut."Lee has started training and we will give him every chance," said Colley, adding: "There are encouraging signs and he has made really good progress but he is still touch and go."With Gavin Henson ruled out through injury, Ireland winger Tommy Bowe could make the switch to full-back as he prepares to line up against several of his Grand Slam-winning team mates.Defending champions Munster are currently priced 13/8 to win the title with 888 Sport , while punters can get odds of 2/1 from Extrabet.
