Kidney rests star names for Ospreys clash

Munster coach Declan Kidney has made 12 changes for the Magners League clash with Ospreys at Musgrave Park tomorrow (kick off: 7.30pm).

Clearly, he has decided to concentrate on the Heineken Cup semi-final by resting many of his first team players, although Tomas O'Leary, Federico Pucciariello, Paul O'Connell and Denis Leamy are likely to start against Saracens.

Paul Warwick wears the number 10 jersey. Tony Buckley switches to the more familiar tighthead position with a back-row of Niall Ronan, Donnacha Ryan and Denis Leamy.

MUNSTER (v The Ospreys): Shaun Payne; Brian Carney, Barry Murphy, Kieran Lewis, Anthony Horgan; Paul Warwick; Tomas O'Leary; Federico Pucciariello, Frank Sheahan, Tony Buckley, Mick O'Driscoll, Paul O'Connell (capt), Donnacha Ryan, Niall Ronan, Denis Leamy.

Replacements: Marcus Horan, Jerry Flannery, Anthony Foley, David Wallace, Peter Stringer, Jeremy Manning, Keith Earls.
