RG Snyman back for Munster as Leinster call on Hugo Keenan

RG Snyman and Simon Zebo will start for Munster in their Investec Champions Cup last-16 clash against Northampton, while the province have appealed John Ryan's ban.

Springboks second row Snyman missed last weekend's win over Cardiff through illness, while Ireland wing Calvin Nash has not recovered from a leg injury - Zebo starts in his place in the Franklin's Gardens clash on Sunday (12.30pm).

Tadhg Beirne captains the side with two changes to the team that beat the Welsh region in the URC.

Ireland prop Jeremy Loughman starts on his 100th Munster appearance, just over six years since making his debut for the province.

An appeal hearing will take place this afternoon regarding Ryan's suspension with the prop (below) named among the replacements pending the outcome of the hearing.

Mike Haley starts at full-back with Zebo and Shane Daly on either wing.

The half-back and centre partnerships are unchanged as Craig Casey, Jack Crowley, Alex Nankivell and Antoine Frisch, who earlier this week declared his interest in pursuing international honours with France, keep their places in the side.

Loughman, Niall Scannell and Stephen Archer pack down in the front row with Beirne and Snyman in the engine room.

Peter O’Mahony, John Hodnett and Gavin Coombes complete the starting XV with Coombes continuing his record of starting every game so far this season.

Eoghan Clarke, Josh Wycherley and Ryan provide the front row back-up with Tom Ahern and Alex Kendellen completing the forward cover. Similar to Coombes, Ahern and Kendellen have also featured in all 17 competitive games so far this year.

Conor Murray, Joey Carbery and Seán O’Brien are the backline replacements.

Munster: Mike Haley; Simon Zebo, Antoine Frisch, Alex Nankivell, Shane Daly; Jack
