Hayes was named to start against Edinburgh in Munsters opening Magners League game, but cried off the morning of the game through illness, while Quinlan returns having recovered from a groin strain that ruled him out of Irelands Summer Tour. 

Supporters are advised that Saturday's game is a complete sell out, with no tickets available on the day.
