Munster make five changes for Stormers clash, Leinster set to blood two more Academy products

Stormers boss John Dobson has reacted to his team’s 38-7 loss at Edinburgh by making five changes from that starting XV, four of them in his forward pack, for the Capetonians’ first home game of the season.

SHANE Daly returns from injury in a much-changed Munster side as Conor Murray is handed his first start of the season and a fit-again Billy Burns joins the replacements for Saturday’s URC round-five clash with the Stormers in Cape Town.

There are five changes and one positional move from the side beaten 26-12 by Leinster at Croke Park last Saturday with Daly and Murray coming into the starting XV alongside John Ryan, Tom Ahern and Alex Kendellen while Jack O’Donoghue switches from blindside flanker to No.8.
