Fogarty the only change for Munster

Hooker Denis Fogarty comes in for the injured Jerry Flannery as Munster's only change for tomorrow's Heineken Cup clash with Treviso at Thomonds Park.

Coach Tony McGahan has full confidence in Fogarty: "Of course it's disappointing, particularly so for the player himself but Denis has been around this squad a long time and fits in well," he said.

"He's worked extremely hard over the last 18 months of his rugby career to get an opportunity to start a Heineken Cup at home and I know he's thrilled and certainly looking forward to it."

Other than that, it is a case of as-you-were with Paul O'Connell with the armband and Ronan O'Gara and Tomas O'Leary at half-back.

Curiously, they have six forwards on the bench and only two backs.

MUNSTER (v Treviso): 15 Paul Warwick, 14 Doug Howlett, 13 Lifeimi Mafi, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Keith Earls, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Tomas O'Leary, 8 Denis Leamy, 7 David Wallace, 6 Alan Quinlan, 5 Paul O'Connell (capt), 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 Tony Buckley, 2 Denis Fogarty, 1 Marcus Horan.

Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 Julien Brugnaut, 18 Darragh Hurley, 19 Mick O'Driscoll, 20 Niall Ronan, 21 Nick Williams, 22 Peter Stringer, 23 Ian Dowling.
