New signing Oli Jager is set to make his Munster debut tomorrow against Glasgow Warriors.
The 28-year-old prop forward joined from the Crusaders earlier this month and has been included on the bench for their BKT URC round seven match against the league leaders in Musgrave Park (7.35pm)
In total there are three changes to the side that lost 21-16 to Leinster last week with hooker Diarmuid Barron continuing as captain.
Alex Nankivell is included at inside centre, Seán O’Brien starts on the wing and academy lock Edwin Edogbo comes into the second row.
A positional switch for Shane Daly sees him move to full-back.
Daly, Calvin Nash and O’Brien start in the back three with Nankivell and Antoine Frisch in midfield as Craig Casey and Jack Crowley continue their half-back partnership.
The front row of Jeremy Loughman, Barron and Stephen Archer is unchanged with Edogbo joining Tadhg Beirne in the engine room.
Tom Ahern makes his second start in an unchanged back row that also includes John Hodnett and Gavin Coombes.
Scott Buckley, Dave Kilcoyne and Jager provide the front row back-up with Fineen Wycherley, academy back row Brian Gleeson and Alex Kendellen completing the forward cover. Kendellen is set to make his 50th Munster appearance.
Conor Murray and Rory Scannell are the backline replacements.
Jean Kleyn, John Ryan and Simon Zebo were unavailable for selection due to injury.
