Zebo to make 150th Munster appearance as Coombes returns from Ireland duty

The Irish province has made eight changes to the side that will face Glasgow Warriors on Friday night.

SIMON ZEBO IS set to make his 150th appearance for Munster in their United Rugby Championship clash with Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun on Friday night [Kick-off, 8.15pm, TG4].

Zebo has been named to start on the wing as Munster make eight changes to the side that secured a bonus-point win away to Zebre.

Gavin Coombes returns from international duty to start at number eight, while Mike Haley, Chris Farrell, Rory Scannell and Ben Healy come into the backline alongside Zebo. Stephen Archer and Chris Cloete will join Coombes in the pack.

Jack O’Donoghue captains the side as Neil Cronin keeps his place at scrum-half after a Player of the Match performance against Zebre.

Jeremy Loughman and Diarmuid Barron join Archer in the front row with an unchanged second row partnership of Jean Kleyn and Fineen Wycherley.

Kevin O’Byrne is among the replacements and could make his first appearance since September while Cian Hurley is set for his first appearance of the campaign.
