RUGBY: Kieran Lewis will start on the wing in place of Doug Howlett in the only change to the Munster backline ahead of the Magners League leaders' trip to Wales to take on the Dragons at Rodney Parade tomorrow night.
Coach Tony McGahan has made four changes in all – one positional - from the side that defeated Edinburgh 28-14 last time out.
Anthony Horgan must be content with a place on the bench, while the one positional change up front sees Alan Quinlan return to the backrow..
Donnacha Ryan, who missed the game against Edinburgh because of a family bereavement, also returns and will partner captain Mick O'Driscoll in the secondrow.
The other changes see Darragh Hurley comes into the frontrow in place of Federico Pucciariello and with Ryan's return, Niall Ronan has to be content with a place on the bench.
Elsewhere Ulster coach Matt Williams will tackle tomorrow’s challenge head-on after naming a powerful frontrow for their home fixture against Glasgow.
The Australian opted for Justin Fitzpatrick, returning captain Rory Best and Brendon Botha in the frontrow. Backup on the bench comes in the form of Tom Court and Nigel Brady.
Ulster academy player Ian Whitten has been promoted to the starting line-up in place of Paul Steinmetz, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury.
Isaac Boss starts at scrumhalf with Cillian Willis as cover on the bench. Chris Henry retains his place in the backrow while Robbie Diack recovers from injury. Bryn Cunningham is also ruled out injured.
"The individuals in the team have to take responsibility,” said Williams looking to bounce back after the 26-16 defeat away to the Dragons.
"I was very unhappy with our last performance; we cannot talk our way out of it, or make excuses. We need a performance against Glasgow, and nothing but 100 per cent will do.
“Our focus is to take back the points we lost against Dragons, and show what we are really capable of. The players all know that they have to stand-up and perform come Saturday.”
