Just three survive as Munster reshuffle

MUNSTER will ring the changes for tonight’s clash with Ulster, with only skipper Mick O’Driscoll, fly-half Ian Keatley and right-wing Luke O’Dea remaining from the side which defeated Connacht.

Denis Leamy misses the chance to face his old friend Rory Best after aggravating and old injury (hip) in training.

He was named with Sean Scanlon (shoulder) in the extended squad announced for this game but withdrew from training in Cork on Wednesday. Like Scanlon the injuries will be reassessed early next week but at this stage neither are ruled out of contention with the Benetton Treviso game in mind.
