Jack Crowley’s return to Munster’s number 10 jersey has been confirmed with Thursday’s team announcement for Saturday’s URC final-round clash at home to Lions, with Diarmuid Barron free to play after having his red card rescinded.

Munster remain weakened through injuries as they bid to rebound from their 26-7 derby loss at Connacht last weekend with Edwin Edogbo (shoulder) and Lee Barron (neck) adding to a casualty list following the Dexcom Stadium game, when Crowley was one of seven Ireland-capped players unavailable.
