THE MUNSTER TEAM that will face Cardiff Blues tomorrow night at the Arms Park (7.15pm) shows five changes from the side that started the win against Newport Gwent Dragons a fortnight ago.
A bonus-point win against ninth-placed Cardiff in the rearranged fixture in Wales would see Munster move back into the top four in the Guinness Pro12 at the expense of Ulster.
With Simon Zebo on international duty for Ireland’s Six Nations clash with Scotland this weekend, he’s replaced on the wing by Ronan O’Mahony.

The other four changes are in the pack. James Cronin and Mike Sherry start in the front-row ahead of Dave Kilcoyne and Niall Scannell, Dave Foley replaces Mark Chisholm in the second-row, and Robin Copeland comes into the back-row for Ireland’s Tommy O’Donnell.
