Munster have named their side to face the Ospreys at Thomond Park on Friday night. Head coach Graham Rowntree has made three personnel changes to the side that beat Ulster last week.

In the front row, Jeremy Loughman, Niall Scannell, and Stephen Archer also start. RG Snyman starts in the second row alongside Tadhg Beirne, who is captain once again. The side is finally completed by a trio of O’Mahony John Hodnett and Gavin Coombes who are in the back row.
