URC: Craig Casey starts for Munster as all four provinces name teams

Munster have made two changes to the side that beat Lions for their BKT United Rugby Championship clash against Connacht tomorrow (5.15pm, live on RTÉ).

Scrum-half Craig Casey and centre Alex Nankivell come into the backline.

Jack Crowley will make his 50th appearance for the province at out-half.

Full-back Simon Zebo and wingers Calvin Nash and Shane Daly are named in an unchanged back three.

Seán O'Brien and Nankivell start together in midfield for the first time with Casey and Crowley in the half-backs.

The pack is unchanged for the third game in succession. Jeremy Loughman, Niall Scannell and Stephen Archer pack down in the front row with RG Snyman and captain Tadhg Beirne in the engine room.

Peter O’Mahony, Alex Kendellen and Jack O’Donoghue complete the side.

Eoghan Clarke, Academy prop Mark Donnelly and Oli Jager provide the front row back-up with Tom Ahern and Gavin Coombes completing the forward cover.

Conor Murray, Joey Carbery and Antoine Frisch are the backline replacements.
