Simon Zebo will return to the Munster starting line-up for his first appearance since December 2 when Graham Rowntree’s men resume their BKT United Rugby Championship campaign against Ospreys at Thomond Park on Friday (7:35pm).

Munster’s record try scorer is one of three changes and a positional switch to the starting line-up which helped secure a 40-30 victory last time out at Benetton in Treviso on January 28, with Gavin Coombes released from the Ireland squad to take his place at No.8 and Jack O’Donoghue returning from a two-game suspension to captain the side from blindside flanker.
