Munster coach Declan Kidney has made one change from the side that crushed semi-final opponents Leinster last month for the Heineken Cup final against Biarritz at the Millenium Stadium on Saturday.
Fit-again prop Marcus Horan has been drafted in to the side at the expense of Federico Pucciariello.
Biarritz welcome back captain Thomas Lievremont following injury in the back row, so Thierry Dusautoir drops out.
"Tomorrow has all the makings of a great game, and all we can do is focus on ourselves," said Kidney.
"It is a pretty daunting task coming up against a side like Biarritz, and you never really know how it is going to pan out - it is just a brilliant opportunity for everyone involved."
The teams have met twice before in Heineken Cup combat, each winning a quarter-final tie, and Munster lock Donnacha O'Callaghan still recalls last season's exit to Biarritz in San Sebastian.
"I can remember the desolation in the dressing room last year when we lost the quarter-final. It was such a huge disappointment," he said.
"The thing about Biarritz in the Heineken Cup this season is they didn't look to be at their best, but they still handled Sale and Bath comfortably in the knock-out stages, and that has to be recognised.
"I know the talk is that this is Munster's year, but that is the way it is every year.
"We have to go out and do it on the pitch, and if we do manage to pull it off, it would be the highlight of my career."
Biarritz scored just one try in disposing of Sale and then Bath, relying instead on the pinpoint accuracy of goalkicker Dimitri Yachvili to take them through.
And there is a feeling that Biarritz might be about to unleash their razor-sharp back division which appears far stronger than Munster's.
"In the quarter-finals there was a lot of pressure on us, and in the semi-final against Bath the rain before and during the match changed a lot of things," said Lievremont.
"I hope the stadium roof is closed tomorrow and we can play some good rugby, but we will have to play better than we have been in order to beat Munster."
Tournament organisers will make a decision on whether or not to close the roof tomorrow morning, but it is likely to be shut, given a forecast of wet and windy weather.
Apart from recalling Horan, Kidney has been given a clean bill of health regarding slight fitness concerns Paul O'Connell and John Kelly, while fly-half Ronan O'Gara has recovered from the stomach bug that forced him to miss training earlier this week.
"We certainly rate Biarritz very highly," said Ireland and Lyons line-out ace O'Connell.
"What impresses me about them is that they can play both type of games.
"In some games it is necessary to play it all up front, and they can do that, then in other games they have let it out wide and given themselves great width.
"They can play the percentage game, which makes them very dangerous."
