MUNSTER WELCOME BACK Conor Murray and Keith Earls for tomorrow’s Pro12 clash with Edinburgh at Murrayfield (5.15pm).

The World Cup stars will make their first appearances of the season as Anthony Foley makes eight changes to the side which won against Ulster last week.

John Ryan and Donnacha Ryan also make their first starts, while Dave Kilcoyne and Duncan Casey return to the starting XV in an all-new front row.

Francis Saili is named alongside Earls in midfield with Ronan O’Mahony given his chance on the left wing.

Munster also issued an update on captain Peter O’Mahony who is expected to miss most of the season with the knee ligament injury he suffered against France.

O’Mahony will go under the knife in a fortnight’s time with Foley hopeful that the flanker will be fit again by March 2016.
