Munster make changes for RaboDirect derby

Munster coach Rob Penney has made 10 changes from the starting team defeated by Saracens last week for tomorrow’s RaboDirect derby with Connacht at the Sportsground in Galway.

Centres Casey Laulala and James Downey, hooker Mike Sherry, second row Donncha O’Callaghan and No 8 James Coughlan are all that remain from the team that started the Heineken Cup match at Vicarage Road last Sunday.

However, Penney can call on Stephen Archer, Luke O’Dea and Paddy Butler, who all got game time, while he has named both Wian du Preez and BJ Botha amongst the substitutes for tomorrow’s important clash.
