Mossie Lawlor comes into the Munster side for their first Heineken Cup match in the only change to the team that beat Cardiff Blues last weekend. Lawlor will start on the wing with John Kelly moving into the centres as a replacement for the injured Shaun Payne.


In the pack Alan Gaffney has rewarded Denis Leamy with a place on the starting line up, with Irish Internationals Alan Quinlan and David Wallace named on the bench. Perhaps surprisingly coach Alan Gaffney has gone for an unconventional line up on the bench, with five forwards and only two backs. This is surely to accomodate both Quinlan and Wallace on the bench.

Munster (V Harlequins): C Cullen, M Lawlor, J Kelly, R Henderson, A Horgan, R O’Gara, P Stringer, M Horan, F Sheahan, J Hayes; T Hogan, P O’Connell, J Williams, D Leamy, A Foley (capt).


Replacements: J Flannery, G McIlwham, T Bowman, A Quinlan, D Wallace, M Prendergast, P Burke.
