RASSIE ERASMUS HAS named his team for Friday’s Guinness Pro14 inter-pro against Connacht, with the side showing three changes to the one which defeated Racing 92 last weekend.
Two of the changes come in the front five with John Ryan and Mark Flanagan promoted from the bench, while Andrew Conway comes in as a direct replacement for Darren Sweetnam on the wing.
The international back row trio of captain Peter O’Mahony, Tommy O’Donnell and CJ Stander provide real steel to the Munster pack for tomorrow evening’s clash at the Sportsground [KO 7.35pm, TG4].
Simon Zebo, who this week announced his decision to leave Munster at the end of this season, is retained at fullback while half-back pairing Conor Murray and Ian Keatley continue as they were.
