Munster Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus has included Darren Sweetnam in his side for Friday night's Guinness PRO12 clash with Dragons at Musgrave Park, while Rory Scannell will also start tomorrow's game.

O'Donnell returns to the back row at openside with Dave O'Callaghan and Jack O'Donoghue taking charge at 6 and 8.
Duncan Williams and captain Bleyendaal again form the half-back partnership and, in a fully changed midfield, Jaco Taute reverts from fullback to resume his partnership alongside Scannell.
