Edinburgh v Munster(Fri, 8pm - Murrayfield): Darragh Hurley will make his first start for Munster in over six months at Murrayfield tomorrow night as the front row crisis in the province come home to roost for coach Tony McGahan.
With John Hayes suspended and Marcus Horan, Tony Buckley, Dave Ryan and Jerry Flannery ruled out through injury, Hurley has been handed a rare opportunity in an untried front row combination.
Yet despite their lack of game time together, McGahan will look at the game as an opportunity for Hurley, Denis Fogarty and Julien Brugnaut to stake a claim in the side in this Magners League campaign.
Elsewhere, there is a more familiar ring to the Munster selection. Alan Quinlan is rested but McGahan has chosen to call upon all of the remaining Irish internationals at his disposal.
Munster:P Warwick; I Dowling, L Mafi, J de Villiers, K Earls; R O'Gara, T O'Leary; Darragh Hurley, D Fogarty, J Brugnaut; D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell capt; N Ronan, D Wallace, D Leamy. Replacements: D Varley, S Archer, M O'Driscoll, D Ryan, P Stringer, D Hurley, F Jones.
