Oli Jager is set for his first Munster start in a beefed up front row also featuring Dave Kilcoyne for the St Stephen’s Day URC derby clash with Leinster at a sold-out Thomond Park next Tuesday night.

Munster, looking to rebound from a disappointing opening to their Champions Cup pool campaign over the last two weekends, make four changes from the team which started the 32-24 defeat at Exeter Chiefs last Sunday with tighthead prop Jager set to wear the number three jersey for the first time following two appearances off the bench following his move from the Crusaders last month.
