Seven changes as Munster focused solely on Exiles clash

LOSING this afternoon’s final Heineken Cup game of the season at home to London Irish is not an option.

Hence, Munster coach Tony McGahan has picked a team for today, not the future.

There may be seven changes, two of them positional, from the side soundly beaten in Toulon last week, but the incoming personnel for today’s Thomond Park clash (3.30pm) represent not a new dawn for the province, rather a desire to finish a disappointing Heineken Cup campaign by qualifying for the second-tier Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
