Laulala takes centre stage for Munster

Keith Earls’ injury sees Casey Laulala come in to the midfield for Sunday’s trip to Vicarage Road.

CASEY LAULALA IS Munster’s only change for part two of their Heieneken Cup double-header against Saracens.

Laulala comes into midfield to replace Keith Earls who is ruled out with a groin injury picked up in training earlier this week.

Earls aside, Rob Penney has a clean bill of health with Simon Zebo, BJ Botha and Dave O’Callaghan all passed fit to start following this morning’s final session in Cork.

Luke O’Dea, who was originally named in the Munster “A” team to face Rotherham in the British and Irish Cup tonight, will instead join the squad for Sunday’s trip to Vicarage Road.

Munster: Felix Jones; Doug Howlett (c), Casey Laulala, James Downey, Simon Zebo; Ronan O’Gara, Conor Murray; David Kilcoyne, Mike Sherry, BJ Botha; Donncha O’Callaghan, Donnacha Ryan; Dave O’Callaghan, Peter O’Mahony, James Coughlan

Replacements: Damien Varley, Wian du Preez, Stephen Archer, Billy Holland, Paddy Butler, Duncan Williams, Ian Keatley, Luke O’Dea.
