Pucciariello comes in for Munster

Federico Pucciariello is the only change to the Munster side to play Llanelli Scarlets in Sunday's return Heineken Cup game at Thomond Park, kick-off at 1pm.

In addition, Niall Ronan comes onto the bench ahead of James Coughlan.

Explaining the changes, Munster coach Declan Kidney said: "Marcus played the entire game last week and given the circumstances of the week he had then had we think it prudent to make the change.

"In Niall's (Ronan) case, he was originally selected on the bench for the Leinster game but had to withdraw with injury, he's fit again and given the conditions that we expect on Sunday, and Donncha Ryan for cover at 6 and 8, Niall gives us that bit of balance."
