JORDAN COGHLAN WILL make his first competitive start for Munster tomorrow night.

Anthony Foley has made eight changes for the trip to Parc y Scarlets, with Coghlan handed his opportunity in the back row following his try-scoring cameo last week.

Robin Copeland will start in the second row for the first time while the other change in the pack sees Duncan Casey named at hooker.

There are a further five changes in the backs with Cathal Sheridan and Tyler Bleyendaal forming the half-back partnership, and Denis Hurley and academy prospect David Johnston paired in midfield.

Stephen Fitzgerald starts on the right wing in place of Shane Monahan while there is good news too concerning Ronan O’Mahony, named among the replacements for the first time since his recovery from injury.

New signing Mario Sagaro misses out on the matchday 23. The prop, who started all of Uruguay’s World Cup games, has joined on a three-month contract.
