Henderson to start against Treviso

Rob Henderson will make his first start for Munster since tearing a muscle in his bicep in early September in their Heineken Cup tussle with Benetton Treviso at Thomond Park on Saturday.

Other than that, coach Alan Gaffney has stuck to the same side that edged out Bourgoin 18-17 last Saturday at Stade Pierre Rajon.

MUNSTER (v Treviso): J Staunton; J Kelly, M Mullins, R Henderson, S Payne; R O'Gara, P Stringer; M Horan, F Sheahan, J Hayes, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell, J Williams, D Wallace, A Foley.

Replacements: G McIlwham, J Blaney, S Keogh, D Pusey, E Reddan, J Holland, M Lawlor.
