Craig Casey and Jack Crowley will return to the starting line-up to help Munster get their season back on track away to the Bulls on Saturday as Clayton McMillan seeks a reaction to last weekend’s 45-0 hammering at the Sharks.

The heavy URC Round 13 defeat has left sixth-placed Munster’s hopes of a top-four finish to the regular season in the balance with five league games remaining, starting with a visit to the eight-placed Bulls at their Loftus Versfeld fortress at altitude in Pretoria.
