Ronan O’Gara will captain a Munster side showing four changes from the Castres game, for tomorrow’s Celtic League clash with The Ospreys at Musgrave Park (8.05pm).

One of those changes occurs in the backline where Paul Devlin comes in in place of Anthony Horgan with coach Alan Gaffney obviously anxious to see how the League convert has progressed since joining from Widnes Vikings.

Elsewhere, Gaffney gives John Hayes, Paul O’Connell and Anthony Foley a break which means Gordon McIlwham comes into the front-row, Tom Bowman partners Donncha O’Callaghan in the second-row with Jim Williams anchoring the scrum.
