Munster ring the changes for Ulster clash

MUNSTER coach Tony McGahan has made sweeping changes for tonight’s Magners League clash with Ulster at Ravenhill (7.30pm) — despite the obvious risk to this season’s perfect record.

He has retained just five players from last week’s Heineken Cup starting line up at Sale Sharks, although only three of this new-look 22-man squad come from outside last week’s group — Mick O’Driscoll, who captains the side, Tony Buckley and Anthony Horgan.

The survivors from last week’s first-choice team are Alan Quinlan and John O’Sullivan up front, and backs Paul Warwick, Lifeimi Mafi and Ian Dowling, with Warwick moving from full back to out-half.
