Clovers' celebrate after the game @INPHO
Virgin Media Park in Cork is the venue for a Celtic Challenge double header this Sunday where the Wolfhounds welcome Welsh side Gwalia Lightning for a 12.30pm kick off and the Clovers host Glasgow Warriors at 3.30pm.
The Clovers take on a Glasgow side who are still looking for their first win in the competition. The Clovers previous fixture against Glasgow was postponed due to Storm Éowyn so this is the first time they meet in the competition.
Head Coach Denis Fogarty has made several changes from the last round as he looks to continue the Clovers strong start to the competition.
Enya Breen returns to captain the side in the centre with Alana McInerney out on the wing. There are 14 Munster players selected in the 23.
In the pack Beth Buttimer returns at hooker while Jane Neill switches to lock and Shirley Bailey comes in at number 8.
