Rugby – Team News:Ireland internationals Alan Quinlan and John Hayes will make their seasonal debuts for Munster against Cardiff Blues in the Magners League at Thomond Park Stadium tomorrow (kick-off: 7.05pm).
Tighthead Hayes comes into the frontrow in place of Tony Buckley, while flanker Quinlan takes over from Billy Holland. Both Buckley and Holland are named on the bench.
Quinlan said he was "delighted to be pulling on the Munster shirt again and really looking forward to the game”.
"Pre-season has gone really well and I feel in good shape but (a game like this) is a big step up from training, particularly when it's against a quality side like Cardiff. Nevertheless I cant wait to get out on the pitch," he added.
The only other change in the starting line-up from the Glasgow defeat sees Barry Murphy retain the number 13 jersey, with Tom Gleeson, who he replaced in the 63rd minute last weekend in Firhill, listed among the replacements.
