Alan Quinlan will start for Munster against Edinburgh in the Magner’s League at Murrayfield tomorrow night.

Other than that, Munster remain unchanged from the side that beat Aironi in round one.

Coach Tony McGahan said: "As this competition has evolved it's become harder and harder to win away from home.

"Last year, I think the best away form was that of Ospreys who won three, two of those coming at the back-end against ourselves and Ulster, Leinster won twice on the road.

"You look at sides who don't finish at the top, they're still very difficult to turn over in their own ground."

Ronan O'Gara Tomas O'Leary and Donncha O'Callaghan have all been listed on the bench.

MUNSTER (v Edinburgh): F Jones; D Howlett, J Murphy, S Tuitupou, I Dowling; P Warwick, P Stringer; W du Preez, D Varley, T Buckley; D Ryan, M O'Driscoll; A Quinlan, N Ronan, D Leamy (capt).

Replacements: D Fogarty, M Horan, J Hayes, D O'Callaghan, P O'Mahony, T O'Leary, R O'Gara, D Barnes.
