The 24-year-old started the defeat to Leinster two weekends ago, and keeps Ian Keatley on the bench for tomorrow’s interprovincial clash.

In total, Foley has made three personnel changes for the visit to the Sportsground, with exciting wing Darren Sweetnam named in the 14 shirt, meaning Andrew Conway drops to the bench.

Jack O’Donoghue comes into the side at number eight, with captain CJ Stander shifting to the six shirt to accommodate the Waterford man.

Finally, Mike Sherry is selected at hooker, with Niall Scannell dropping to the bench. Munster’s XV is unchanged otherwise as they look to keep their bid for Champions Cup qualification and a Pro12 semi-final on track.
