DONNACHA O'Callaghan joins Paul O'Connell in the second-row with Donnacha Ryan replacing the injured Niall Ronan in the back-row for to-morrow's Heineken Cup Pool 1 game against the Northampton Saints(6.00).
Otherwise it is the same Munster starting fifteen as that which beat Castres last week-end in Limerick.
The sell-out game is a must-win one for the Saints if they want to compete in Europe next season while a losing bonus point looks like being enough to give the visitors a home quarter final fixture that would boost the Limerick economy.
Munster will have nothing to fear and look like getting the result they require
