The presence in the Bourgoin side of Mick or Mickael as he is now known, Prendergast, will no doubt ensure an unusually loud cheer for an opposition side in Thomond Park tomorrow for the Heineken Cup clash with Munster.

Munster show just one change from the side that started against Leicester, with Anthony Foley forced out through injury and the back row that finished in Welford Road, Alan Quinlan, David Wallace and Denis Leamy, not surprisingly remaining in place.

The one change on the bench sees John O’Sullivan’s good Magners League form rewarded with a call up in place of Quinlan.

Munster: Shaun Payne; John Kelly, Barry Murphy, Trevor Halstead, Ian Dowling; Ronan O’Gara, Peter Stringer; Marcus Horan, Frank Sheahan, John Hayes; Donncha O’Callaghan, Paul O’Connell capt; Alan Quinlan, David Wallace, Denis Leamy.

Replacements: Andy Kyriacou, Federico Pucciariello, Mick O’Driscoll, John O’Sullivan, Toams O’Leary, Jeremy Manning, Lifiemi Mai.
