FRANCIS SAILI HAS retained Munster’s 13 shirt for the Guinness Pro12 final against the Scarlets tomorrow at the Aviva Stadium [KO 6.15pm, TG4/Sky Sports].
Jaco Taute is again restricted to a place on the bench, as Rassie Erasmus opts for exactly the same match day 23 that saw Munster overcome the Ospreys in last weekend’s final.
