Scared To Start

Athy's Carbery and Loughman Named for Munster

But Eadestown's Tadhg Beirne misses out injured

Munster are without Ireland forwards Peter O’Mahony and Tadhg Beirne as they make eight changes to the side that claimed a morale-boosting win over the Vodacom Bulls.

O’Mahony did not come through training because of a neck injury but will still join the Ireland squad next week. There was no update on Beirne, however, who was due to have a scan on a groin injury.

Athy's Joey Carbery and Jeremy Loughman start at outhalf and prop respectively

Jack Crowley starts at full-back for the first time

Rory Scannell and Conor Murray come in at inside centre and scrum-half respectively.

Forwards Diarmuid Barron, Keynan Knox, Tom Ahern and John Hodnett  make their first starts of the season

Jack O’Donoghue captains the side from blindside flanker.


Munster: Jack Crowley; Shane Daly, Dan Goggin, Rory Scannell, Liam Coombes; Joey Carbery, Conor Murray; Jeremy Loughman, Diarmuid Barron, Keynan Knox; Jean Kleyn, Tom Ahern; Jack O'Donoghue (capt), John Hodnett, Gavin Coombes.
