‘Killer’ returns as Munster enter business end of season
- Updated: 01/01/2021
OUT of action since the summer with an ankle injury, UL Bohemian’s Dave Kilcoyne returns to Munster action tomorrow. He is named on the replacements for the Guinness PRO14 game against Ulster at Kingspan Stadium (5.15pm – live on eir Sport and Premier Sport).
Head Coach Johann van Graan makes a raft of changes for this interprovincial clash and no doubt Ulster will view this game with some confidence. Liam Coombes, Calvin Nash and Liam O’Connor all start with a back-row of Jack O’Donoghue, Chris Cloete and Jack O’Sullivan.
Niall Scannell will make his first appearances of the season while Academy out-half Ben Healy has successfully rehabbed the shoulder injury sustained against Harlequins to start in the number 10 jersey. Shane Daly, who is the only player to retain his starting position from the Clermont game, makes the switch to full back for his second appearance of the season.
Munster: Shane Daly; Calvin Nash, Dan Goggin, Rory Scannell, Liam Coombes; Ben Healy, Craig Casey; Liam O’Connor, Niall Scannell, John Ryan; Fineen Wycherley, Billy Holland (c); Jack O’Donoghue, Chris Cloete, Jack O’Sullivan.
Replacements: Rhys Marshall, Dave Kilcoyne, Roman Salanoa, Thomas Ahern, Tommy O’Donnell, Nick McCarthy, Jack Crowley, Darren Sweetnam.
