Earls retains centre role

After a man-of-the-match performance at second-centre against the Dragons, Keith Earls will wear the number 13 jersey again on Saturday for Munster’s RaboDirect PRO12 meeting with defending champions Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium (6.30pm).

Head coach Rob Penney continues to shuffle his midfield selection, picking Casey Laulala at inside centre alongside Earls with James Downey named among the replacements.
