Team news: Farrell starts but O’Donoghue misses out on Munster side to face Scarlets

Chris Farrell returns to the Munster team as Johann van Graan makes five changes ahead of Saturday's Guinness PRO14 match against Scarlets at Thomond Park (5pm).

Farrell was one of two international squad members released to the province as Ireland face a lay-off until their next Six Nations game against France on March 14, however, the other, Jack O’Donoghue, misses out due to injury.
