Tadhg Beirne and captain Peter O’Mahony return to Munster’s starting XV following their post-World Cup breaks as the URC champions reunite with beaten finalists the Stormers at Thomond Park on Saturday evening.

Conor Murray is a third senior Ireland international back on duty following the tournament and will provide scrum-half cover for Test squad mate Craig Casey who starts alongside another World Cup veteran of the past two months in fly-half Jack Crowley.
