O'BRIEN COMES IN AS MUNSTER MAKE ONE CHANGE FOR LIONS MATCH

MUNSTER HAVE MADE one change for tomorrow’s clash with the Lions in Johannesburg, [KO: 4pm, live TG4 and Premier Sports 2].

Seán O’Brien comes in at inside centre, partnering Antoine Frisch in midfield, as Alex Nankivell is replaced. The game will mark O’Brien’s first start in that position, in his 16th appearance for the province this season. 

The rest of the side is unchanged from last week’s stirring victory over the Bulls. Mike Haley is named on the bench, John Hodnett missing out due to a leg injury.
