Munster boss Clayton McMillan has welcomed back a quintet of Ireland internationals in a 38-player squad spread across two teams to face Bath in Cork on Friday night, with Craig Casey set to captain one of the sides.

Scrum-half Casey captained Ireland for their summer tour Tests, wins against Georgia and Portugal, and he returns to provincial duty alongside Gavin Coombes and a trio who made their Irish debuts on tour, Tom Ahern, Alex Kendellen and Michael Milne.
