Foley, who led the squad to Heineken Cup victory last season, will assume the vice captaincy role along with Ronan O'Gara.

Meanwhile, Munster will have most of their international contingent available for selection for the Magners League game against Ulster at Musgrave Park on Saturday.

Those not available include John Hayes who injured an ankle at his home and Denis Leamy who picked up a hamstring injury during the international mini-camp last week.
