MUNSTER HAVE MADE six changes to their starting XV ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Edinburgh at Murrayfield.
Billy Holland captains the side on his 150th PRO14 appearance, while JJ Hanrahan, Rory Scannell, Darren Sweetnam, Mike Sherry, Jack O’Donoghue and Conor Oliver all come into the team following the defeat of Glasgow three weeks ago.
It will be Sherry’s first PRO14 appearance since April 2016, as he has recovered from a back injury that kept him out for a sustained period.
Tommy O’Donnell is on the bench and is expected to play for the first time since picking up a shoulder injury on New Year’s Day, while fellow substitute and Academy scrum-half Jack Stafford is in line to make his second senior appearance.
The match kicks off at 7.35pm.
