The big novelty, however, will be Christian Loamanu as number 8.
The match against Munster, the sixteenth round of the RaboDirect PRO12, which will be held Sunday, February 24 at 15, marks the return of the competition at Stadio Monigo in Treviso, which was missing from the end of December and that is the derby against Zebre.
Referee from Scotland will be Mr. Paterson, who this year was with the Lions only once, in the unfortunate game of the Liberty Stadium in Swansea in the Heineken Cup, lost 38-17 against the Ospreys.
