Henderson missed that game having suffered a cheekbone injury in Munster's Celtic League win over Leinster and the reshuffle in the side saw Mike Mullins move to inside centre, Shaun Payne play at 13 and Mossy Lawlor selected on the right wing.

With the return of Henderson, Munster revert to the line up that played against Castres with Lawlor now named on the bench.

Munster. C Cullen; S Payne, M Mullins, R Henderson, A Horgan; P Burke, P Stringer; M Horan, F Sheahan, J Hayes; D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell; A Quinlan, D Leamy, A Foley capt Replacements J Flannery, G McIlwham, T Hogan, J Williams, M Prendergast, J Holland, M Lawlor
