Munster ‘A’ changes for Neath test

MUNSTER ‘A’ play what will perhaps be the defining game in their Pool B British & Irish Cup when they take on Neath at The Gnoll tomorrow.

Although retaining the core of the side that defeated Nottingham in Waterford last time out, this Munster side shows several changes, with the pack being beefed up by the inclusion of Nick Williams at number eight. Duncan Williams and Scott Deasy are included in the backline this time, Deasy teaming up with Tom Gleeson in the centre, while Jeremy Manning returns from injury to take his place on the bench.

It says it all about the competitiveness of this Pool that despite three straight wins Munster still have a lot to do if they’re to make the semis.
