Munster succeeded without their frontline stars in November and they begin the festive period needing their second string to take another step forward in Belfast tonight for the first of three tough interprovincial derbies.

Following two arduously physical games against European pool rivals Castres, head coach Johann Van Graan has made 13 changes to the side which was beaten 13-12 in France on Saturday as the province returns to Guinness PRO14 action at Ravenhill this evening.
