Clayton McMillan has pressed the reset button for Munster by making nine changes to the side hammered by Bath for Saturday’s must-win Champions Cup pool clash with Gloucester at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Jack Crowley, Jean Kleyn, Michael Milne and Jack O’Donoghue all return from injury, there is a first start for new signing Michael Ala’alatoa while Mike Haley, Alex Nankivell, Ben O’Connor and Niall Scannell also come into the team following the 40-14 Pool 2 opener at The Rec last Saturday.
