Johann van Graan has made 11 changes to his Munster team for Friday night's Guinness Pro14 clash away to Benetton.

Munster are second in Conference B and with a Heineken Champions Cup semi-final coming up on 20 April, the head coach has opted to retain just four players from the side that beat Cardiff last weekend. 

Mike Haley, Darren Sweetnam, Billy Holland and Chris Cloete keep their places.
