Declan Kidney will seek to give his probable European Cup final starters a dry run when they take on Llanelli Scarlets at Stradey Park tomorrow.
Kiidney has opted for wholesale change from the side that was defeated 19-9 by Ulster midweek, reverting to the team that has begun the last two Heineken Cup fixtures against Saracens and Gloucester.
There is little at stake in the Magners League for Munster but their opponents could be overtaken this weekend by Neath-Swansea Ospreys who still have both eyes on that second Welsh spot in next season's Heineken Cup.
Ospreys have a game in hand and face Edinburgh at home tonight, so the intensity is unlikely to drop for Munster at Stradey Park.
Munster: Denis Hurley; Doug Howlett, Lifiemi Mafi, Rua Tipoki, Ian Dowling; Ronan O'Gara, Tomas O'Leary; Marcus Horan, Jerry Flannery, John Hayes; Donncha O'Callaghan, Paul O'Connell; Alan Quinlan, David Wallace, Denis Leamy
Replacements: Frank Sheahan, Federico Pucciariello, Mick O'Driscoll, Donnacha Ryan, Peter Stringer, Paul Warwick, Anthony Horgan,
