The change on the bench sees Anthony Horgan replace Barry Murphy who suffered a dislocated thumb in the game in Ravenhill on Wednesday night. Horgan's inclusion comes on foot of an impressive first half showing against Ulster before he was forced out of the game just after the break with presumably the same stomach ailment that sidelined Keith Earls earlier in the day.

Munster: D Hurley; D Howlett,  L Mafi, R Tipoki, I Dowling; R O'Gara, T O'Leary; M Horan, J Flannery, J Hayes, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell (capt), A Quinlan,  D Wallace, D Leamy. Replacements: F Sheahan, F Pucciariello, M O'Driscoll, D Ryan, P Stringer, P Warwick, A Horgan.
