Head coach Johann van Graan makes a number of changes to the interprovincial clash with Niall Scannell and Liam Coombes making their first appearances of the season, while Academy midfielder Ben Healy has successfully rehabbed the shoulder injury suffered against Harlequins to start in number 10. jersey.
In replacements there is a welcome return for Dave Kilcoyne, who is included in his first team for game day since he injured his ankle against Leinster in August.
Shane Daly, who is the only player maintaining his starting position in the Clermont game, makes the switch to full back for his second appearance of the season and alongside him in the last three are wingers Coombes and Calvin Nash.
Rory Scannell and Dan Goggin form the core partnership, while Craig Casey joins Healy in the mid-back pair.
It’s a new front row combo with Liam O’Connor, Niall Scannell and John Ryan starting together for the first time, and behind them are Fineen Wycherley and Captain Billy Holland in the second row.
Completing the package is a last row of Jack O’Donoghue, Chris Cloete, and Jack O’Sullivan.
Another young Academy out-half, Jack Crowley, is in line to make his Munster debut if he comes off the bench.
