Tony Buckley returns to Munster

Buckley was to have started against the Dragons last weekend but was called up to the Ireland squad after Simon Best took ill and Darragh Hurley moved up from the bench with Federico Pucciariello switching to tight head to accomodate Hurley.

The other change to the pack sees James Coughlan in at number six in place of try scorer last week, Billy Holland while in the backs, Rua Tipoki gets to start this around while Lifeimi Mafi is named on the bench.
