Ireland flanker Peter O’Mahony has returned to the starting team for Munster for their final Investec Champions Cup pool game against Northampton on Saturday.
The 35-year-old has been out since mid-December with a calf injury and is one of three changes made from the side that beat Saracens 17-12 last weekend.
Wing Diarmuid Kilgallen will make his competitive debut after recovering from a wrist injury.
He replaces Shane Daly, who is following return to play protocols after failing a head injury assessment in the victory against Saracens.
Diarmuid Barron comes in for Niall Scannell and Jack O’Donoghue makes way for O’Mahony.
Munster are second in Pool 3 and victory over Northampton would secure their place in the knock-out stages and a home last-16 tie.
Munster: M Haley; C Nash, T Farrell, R Scannell, D Kilgallen; J Crowley, C Murray; D Bleuler, D Barron, O Jager; F Wycherley, T Beirne (capt); P O’Mahony, A Kendellen, G Coombes.
Replacements: N Scannell, J Ryan, S Archer, T Ahern, J O’Donoghue, P Patterson, B Burns, B Gleeson.
