MUNSTER HAVE LEFT Joey Carbery out of their matchday 23 for tomorrow’s huge URC clash with the Stormers in Cape Town [KO 5.15pm, RTÉ/Premier Sports/URC TV].
Having already seen Jack Crowley come into the starting XV at out-half, Carbery has now missed out on the matchday squad altogether as Scotland international Ben Healy, who is joining Edinburgh this summer, offers back-up from the bench.
Head coach Graham Rowntree has brought experienced Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray back into the starting side for tomorrow’s showdown with the Stormers, with Craig Casey moving to the bench.

There’s an all-new Munster front row as the fit-again Jeremy Loughman joins Diarmuid Barron and Stephen Archer. Ireland international loosehead prop Dave Kilcoyne misses out on the matchday 23 after picking up an injury, with Josh Wycherley named on the bench.
The fifth change to the Munster team sees Alex Kendellen introduced in the back row.
There’s also a return from injury for 35-year-old Keith Earls, who is included on Munster’s bench. Earls is set for his 199th Munster appearance as he completes his comeback from a calf injury that has kept him sidelined since New Year’s Day.
Meanwhile, Stormers boss has made four changes to his starting XV as scrum-half Paul de Wet, lock Ruben van Heerden, and back rows Hacjivah Dayimani and Willie Engelbrecht come into the team. Explosive back row Evan Roos returns as part of a 6-2 split on the bench.
