As he did against Edinburgh in Round 2 Ian Keatley steps into the breach, caused by the one week suspension for Ronan O'Gara, for the final pool game against Racing Metro at Thomond Park Stadium on Sunday (12.45)
The match day squad submitted to ERC today ahead of the 12 noon deadline is the same, with the exception of
Keatley at 10 and
JJ Hanrahan on the bench, to the one submitted a week ago.
However, both Felix Jones (knee) and Mike Sherry (ankle) need to come through the training run - currently in progress -unscathed.
Meanwhile Johnny Holland has been withdrawn from tonight's British & Irish Cup match (v Plymouth Albion,Temple Hill, 7pm) with a groin strain and his place on the bench goes to Darren Sweetnam.
Munster: F Jones; D Howlett capt, K Earls, J Downey, S Zebo; Ian Keatley, C Murray; D Kilcoyne, D Varley, BJ Botha; D O'Callaghan, D Ryan; P O'Mahony, T O'Donnell, J Coughlan. Replacements: M Sherry, W du Preez, J Ryan, B Holland, P Butler, D Williams, JJ Hanrahan, C Laulala.
