Rugby:With Jerry Flannery once more consigned to the treatment room, Damien Varley keeps his place in the Munster frontline tomorrow for the province's match with Glasgow but elsewhere Tony McGahan has made a raft of changes.
Just seven of the side that started against Ulster last weekend retain their place as the Munster coaching ticket gear up for a month that could make-or-break their season. McGahan’s side may sit nine points clear at the top of the Magners League but vital Heineken Cup ties with London Irish and Toulon are looming large on the horizon.
The return of James Coughlan will provide a welcome fillip to a scrum that has creaked in recent weeks but Tony Buckley has been ruled out after picking up a virus. Donncha O’Callaghan and John Hayes also start.
Behind the scrum, Lifeimi Mafi, Johne Murphy and Ronan O’Gara all return. O’Gara’s selection alongside Peter Stringer sees Paul Warwick revert to fullback in place of Scott Deasy.
Munster:P Warwick; D Howlett, K Earls, L Mafi, J Murphy; R O'Gara, P Stringer; D Hurley, D Varley, J Hayes; D O'Callaghan, M O'Driscoll, J Coughlan, D Wallace, D Leamy. Replacements:M Sherry, D Kilcoyne, P Borlase, D Ryan, N Ronan, T O'Leary, S Tuitupou, D Hurley.
