MUNSTER’S RASSIE Erasmus makes just one change for Saturday’s Guinness Pro14 clash with Cheetahs at Thomond Park [Kick-off 5.15pm].

Ian Keatley comes in for Tyler Bleyendaal at out half with second row Billy Holland taking captaining the side.

Fullback Andrew Conway will make his 100th Guinness PRO14 appearance, as will Kilcoyne should he appear off the bench.

Elsewhere, Academy duo Liam O’Connor and blindside Sean O’Connor retain their starting positions after impressing in their debuts against Benetton last weekend.

Ireland internationals Niall Scannell, Dave Kilcoyne, John Ryan, Rory Scannell and Simon Zebo are all named on the bench, but are likely to make a first appearance of the new season.
