Alex Nankivell and Josh Wycherley come into the Munster side for Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final clash at Bordeaux-Begles but there is no place in the home line-up for Joey Carbery.

Munster make just two changes to the XV which started their epic, nail-biting 25-24 Round of 16 victory at La Rochelle last Saturday with Nankivell free to play after a successful appeal against the red card he was issued at Connacht a fortnight ago Josh Wycherley replaces the injured Jeremy Loughman for the Stade Chaban-Delmas knockout tie.
