Munster coach Alan Gaffney has made two changes from the team that beat Connacht 33-3 in the Celtic League quarter-final for Friday's Heineken Cup clash against Viadana at Musgrave Park.
Anthony Horgan makes a welcome return from injury and is selected on the left wing. He was injured last May but strained a hamstring in his comeback match for Cork Constitution last month.
Horgan's return sees Mossie Lawler switch to the right flank and Colm McMahon drop to the bench.
Jeremy Staunton, out of the side since tearing a stomach muscle in the Pool 2 defeat to Gloucester in October, returns at full back at the expense of Killian Keane.
MUNSTER:J Staunton; M Lawlor, M Mullins, J Holland, A Horgan; R O'Gara, P Stringer; M Horan, F Sheahan, J Hayes; P O'Connell, D O'Callaghan; J Williams capt, A Quinlan, A Foley.
Replacements (from): J Fogarty or J Blaney, S Kerr, M O'Driscoll, D Leamy or E Halvey, M Prendergast, K Keane, C McMahon.
