Gaffney makes four Munster team changes

MUNSTER coach Alan Gaffney has made four changes to the team to take on Newcastle Falcons at Thomond Park on Monday at 7.00pm.

Munster, clearly in experimental mode, lost out to London Irish at the same venue on Tuesday, and Gaffney has resisted making major alterations.

The province will, however, be boosted by the return of Shaun Payne on the right wing, while newcomer James Storey makes his first start for the province, in the centre.
