Munster, out of the Celtic League reckoning, meet Edinburgh in the competition at Musgrave Park tomorrow night but Gaffney will be fielding only four of the starting line-up from the victory over Stade Francais at the weekend.

Those four are all backs: Christian Cullen, Shaun Payne, John Kelly and Rob Henderson.
