ANTHONY FOLEY HAS made two changes for Munster’s final Pool 4 clash against Treviso.
Foley’s side travel to Italy on Sunday with their Champions Cup challenge effectively dead — although there is still a remote mathematical possibility of qualifying for the knockout rounds if multiple other results go their way.
John Ryan, who signed a new three-year deal with the province earlier today, starts at tighthead while Donnacha Ryan returns to the second row.
There is a boost among the replacements too where James Cronin returns to the 23 following the ankle ligament injury which has sidelined him since late December.
