Simon Zebo, Dave Kilcoyne and Oli Jager will all start for Munster in the URC Interpro derby against Leinster on St Stephen's Day (7.35pm, live on RTÉ2/Player).

Tighthead prop Jager makes his first start for Munster on his third appearance for the province and Dave Kilcoyne joins Jager in the front row on his first start of the campaign. Hooker Diarmuid Barron captains the side and packs down with Kilcoyne and Jager in the front row. Simon Zebo comes into the side at full-back for his second appearance of the season with Shane Daly moving to the left wing. Calvin Nash keeps his place on the right wing with the centre and half-back partnerships unchanged. Scrum-half Craig Casey and out-half Jack Crowley start together once again with Alex Nankivell and Antoine Frisch in midfield.
Peter O'Mahony is one of seven players Munster could have back in contention for this Sunday's crucial Investec Champions Cup trip to the Exeter Chiefs.
The full-time whistle had barely been blown 30 minutes, and Munster thoughts were already turning to the Investec Champions Cup.
