Johann van Graan has made six changes to the Munster XV for Friday's rearranged Guinness Pro14 clash with Edinburgh at Murrayfield (7.35pm kick-off).
It is three weeks since the province defeated Glasgow in Cork, with their back-to-back encounters with Scottish opponents delayed by Storm Emma and the 'Best from the East'.
Billy Holland captains the side on his 150th Pro14 appearance as JJ Hanrahan, Rory Scannell, Darren Sweetnam, Sherry, Jack O’Donoghue and Conor Oliver are all drafted into the side.
Sherry makes his first Pro14 start since April 2016 after recovering from a long-term back injury, with O'Donnell named among the replacements and set to feature for the first time since sustaining a shoulder injury on New Year's Day.
Simon Zebo starts at full-back with Sweetnam on the right wing and Alex Wootton on the left flank.
