Alan Gaffney has been forced into making a large number of changes to the Munster side which lost to Wasps on Sunday in the Heineken Cup. Gaffney has been forced to make nine changes to the starting line-up.



John Kelly, Ronan O’Gara, Peter Stringer, Marcus Horan, Frank Sheahan, John Hayes, Paul O’Connell, Jim Williams and Anthony Foley all are ruled out of the clash with Cardiff due to various injuries.



However it’s not all bad news for Munster fans with Alan Quinlan named in the back-row for his first match since picking up an injury in the World Cup last autumn.
