In the absence of squad captain Paul O'Connell, Munster will be led by Ronan O'Gara when they resume their Magners League campaign against the Scarlets in Llanelli on Friday evening.
O'Gara is one of seven players involved with Ireland last weekend included in Munster's first trip to the Scarlets new home, Parc Y Scarlets in the Pemberton area of Llanelli
Also included in the squad is Denis Leamy who has just agreed terms that keeps him with Munster until after the next World Cup.
Leamy played his first competitive game of the season against the All Blacks in Thomond Park last Tuesday week but suffered injury in that game at the end of the opening quarter.
He said: 'It was just a bit of a knock and they (management) took me off as a precaution more than anything else. Thankfully I've fully recovered and looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. Its been a good week for me with the contract terms agreed and I'm delighted with the way the IRFU dealt with that.
'Now the opportunity is there to get myself back into the side with important games coming up starting with this one on Friday.'
Munster team to play the Scarlets at Llanelli in the Magners League on Friday 28 November: P Warwick; D Howlett, K Earls, L Mafi, I Dowling; R O'Gara, T O'Leary; M Horan, F Sheahan, T Buckley; D O'Callaghan, M O'Driscoll; D Ryan, N Ronan, D Leamy.
