The Munster team for today's URC clash with the Stormers in South Africa includes Cashel’s Diarmuid Barron. Barron plays rugby with Cashel but comes from the Racecourse Cross and the Barrons have always been associated with New Inn.
There are five changes from the Munster team that lost to the Sharks two weeks ago with Jeremy Loughman, Stephen Archer, Alex Kendellen and Conor Murray also coming into the side.
Nenagh native Ben Healy will be on the bench for the game that kicks-off in Cape Town at 5.15pm Irish time.
Munster’s last eight encounters with South African opponents in the United Rugby Championship have, incredibly, all been won by the home side on the day.
The Stormers are second in the table and are targeting two home wins to complete the regular season and secure second place in the URC.
Munster starting team: Mike Haley; Calvin Nash, Antoine Frisch, Malakai Fekitoa, Shane Daly; Jack Crowley, Conor Murray; Jeremy Loughman, Diarmuid Barron, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, RG Snyman; Peter O’Mahony (C), Alex Kendellen, Gavin Coombes.
Replacements: Scott Buckley, Josh Wycherley, Keynan Knox, Fineen Wycherley, Jack O’Donoghue, Craig Casey, Ben Healy, Keith Earls.
