URC teams: Nash in for Munster, O'Toole back for Ulster

Munster have made two changes for their Round 2 clash with Benetton in the BKT United Rugby Championship on Sunday (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).

Calvin Nash and John Hodnett come into the team, with Andrew Conway and Alex Kendellen dropping out from the starting side which earned a bonus-point 34-21 win over the Sharks in Thomond Park last week.

Conway was not available for selection after picking up a knock and will be assessed by the medical department while Kendellen is among the subs.

There are three academy players in the starting side with Shay McCarthy, Ethan Coughlan and Edwin Edogbo keeping their places from last week while academy prop Kieran Ryan is named among the replacements.

Josh Wycherley, Diarmuid Barron and Stephen Archer pack down in an unchanged front-row while Edogbo and Fineen Wycherley continue their partnership in the second-row. Hodnett comes into the back-row at openside where he is joined by captain Jack O'Donoghue and Gavin Coombes.

Coughlan and Joey Carbery continue their half-back partnership while Rory Scannell and Antoine Frisch form an unchanged centre combination. Shane Daly continues at full-back while Nash, who was a late withdrawal last week, comes into the side on the the left wing while McCarthy moves to the other flank.

New signing Sean O'Brien is in line for his debut off the bench, while Paddy Patterson is also due to make his first appearance since March following an serious knee injury.

Munster: Shane Daly; Shay McCarthy, Antoine Frisch, Rory Scannell, Calvin Nash; Joey Carbery, Ethan Coughlan; Josh Wycherley, Diarmuid Barron, Stephen Archer; Edwin Edogbo, Fineen Wycherley; Jack O’Donoghue (capt), John Hodnett, Gavin Coombes.
