Under 20s Named For Thomond Clash

The Munster Under 20s, sponsored by GxP Systems, have announced their squad for tomorrow night’s clash with Connacht at Thomond Park (ko 7pm).

Head Coach Peter Malone has made four changes to the side that were beaten 32-20 in Leinster last weekend.

There's a positional change in the backs with Gearóid Lyons moving to out-half with Paul Kiernan starting at second centre and Tomás Quinlan joining the replacements.

There are two changes in the front row as loose-head prop Liam O'Connor takes the place of Brendan Quinlan and tight-head Liam McMahon comes in for Mike O'Donnell.

The final change is also in the pack as Conor Barry starts in the back-row with Johnny Keane dropping out.

Following tomorrow night's clash, the Munster Under 20s end the campaign with a home game against Ulster on Friday week at Dooradoyle (ko 7pm).
