Number 8 Jack Conan is one of just four players retained from last week's win at Benetton Treviso.

Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray and CJ Stander are back in the Munster team for tomorrow's clash with Leicester at Thomond Park.

Simon Zebo has recovered from a rib issue to retain the number 15 shirt.

Newly capped Irish winger Darren Sweetnam must settle for a place on the bench, as Andrew Conway and Alex Wooton complete the back three.

Rory Best will miss Ulster's game against Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop on Sunday.

The Ireland captain has been ruled out due to a foot infection.

Iain Henderson and Jacob Stockdale are back from international duty.
