Rugby:Mick O'Driscoll will replace the injured Paul O'Connell for the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter final against Brive on Saturday, in one of three changes to the Munster side.
Coming off the back of a Magners League win over Leinster, Munster travel to France in confidence, despite the absence of their captain and leader O’Connell, who is out for undetermined period with ankle ligament damage.
Denis Leamy also comes in for the game at the Stade Municipal, in place of Donnacha Ryan who he replaced in the 54ths minute of the 24-23 win over Leinster at Thomond Park.
Johne Murphy is the third player to make way, with Sam Tuitupou the preferred partner for Lifeimi Mafi in the centre.
Outhalf Ronan O’Gara will captain the side as he continues alongside young scrumhalf Conor Murray.
Kick-off tomorrow is at 1pm (Irish time).
Munster:F Jones; D Howlett, L Mafi, S Tuitupou, K Earls; R O'Gara Capt., C Murray; W du Preez, D Varley, T Buckley; D O'Callaghan, M O'Driscoll; D Leamy, D Wallace, J Coughlan. Replacements: M Sherry, M Horan, J Hayes, D Ryan, N Ronan, P Stringer, P Warwick, J Murphy.
