MUNSTER HEAD COACH Anthony Foley has made three changes to his side for tomorrow evening’s Guinness Pro12 meeting with Newport-Gwent Dragons at Thomond Park (7.35pm).
From the team that narrowly overcame Treviso last weekend in Italy, Gerhard van den Heever drops out to be replaced on the wing by returning Irish international Simon Zebo.
In the pack, Ireland flanker Tommy O’Donnell — who started among the replacements last time out — starts at the expense of Robin Copeland, with Jack O’Donoghue moving from 6 to 8.

Niall Scannell is back in at hooker, so Mike Sherry moves to the bench, where Stephen Archer also features. The prop returns from a neck injury which has sidelined him since October.
