Munster side to face Zebre

Besides O'Connell, of those who started last weekend in Montpellier, only three, Casey Laulala, Dave Kilcoyne & Mike Sherry, will start tomorrow evening in the Stadio XXV Aprille.

Munster: D Hurley; R O'Mahony, C Laulala, I Keatley, J Murphy; JJ Hanrahan, C Sheridan; D Kilcoyne, M Sherry, J Ryan; B Holland, P O'Connell capt; Dave O'Callaghan, S Dougall, P Butler.

Replacements: D Varley, J Cronin, BJ Botha, I Nagle, B Holland, D Williams, C Bohane, F Jones. .
