Changes To Munster Squad

There is one change to the starting XV for tonight’s game against Connacht at Thomond Park (7.15pm) with two changes to the replacements.

Denis Hurley will now start in the place of Felix Jones at fullback with Ivan Dineen included in the replacements. Jones has been withdrawn as a precautionary measure with a neck spasm and is expected to return to full training next week.

Damien Varley, a late withdrawal from last weekend’s squad due to illness, has failed to recover in time for tonight's Interpro derby and his place on the bench will go to Young Munster’s Ger Slattery.

The Irish Club player previously lined out for Munster in the 2012/13 pre-season game against La Rochelle.
