Brian Gleeson is set for his first Champions Cup start when Munster visit Castres on Friday night in their second-round pool fixture at Stade Pierre Fabre.

It will be the former Ireland under-20 back-rower's seasonal debut and is one of six changes to the starting team which faced Stade Francais at Thomond Park last Saturday in Munster’s European opener.
