Deasy set for Munster start

Scott Deasy will start at full back for Munster against Benetton Treviso in the Magners League at Thomond Park Stadium on Friday evening (7.45pm).

Marcus Horan will be out for up to six weeks with a broken wrist, thus allowing Wian du Preez to continue to impress at loose-head prop.

James Coughlan comes in at number eight for Denis Leamy. John Hayes and Donnacha Ryan are called on for the benched Tony Buckley and Donncha O’Callaghan.
