JGP and Byrne to lead the attack in reshuffled Leinster side

Head coach Leo Cullen has made 10 changes to the side which beat Ulster.

LEO CULLEN HAS named a much-changed side as Leinster look to continue their perfect Pro14 start with a win over Munster in Thomond Park [kick-off 6pm].

Scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park is the only back to retain his place following last week’s try-fest against Ulster.

He is joined in the half-backs by a fit-again Ross Byrne who has shaken off a dead leg.

Up front, Ireland internationals James Tracy and Devin Toner both start with Ed Byrne and Caelan Doris also returning to a reshuffled pack.

Scott Fardy captains the side from the second row, with Josh Murphy dropping into the back row to accommodate Toner’s return.
