URC teams: Tony Butler in for Munster as David O'Connor gets Connacht debut

Munster will be without out-half Billy Burns and centre Alex Nankivell for their trip to face Zebre Parma on Saturday afternoon (3pm Irish time, live on RTÉ), with Tony Butler starting at out-half.

In all there are four personnel changes and three positional switches to the side that secured a bonus-point win against Connacht last weekend.

Burns is unavailable due to the shoulder injury he sustained against Connacht, while Nankivell was unable to train this week due to a knock and was unavailable for selection.

Liam Coombes picked up a knock at training this week and was also unavailable.

Josh Wycherley and Oli Jager come into the front row while Butler and Calvin Nash come into the backline.

Thaakir Abrahams moves to the left wing, Tom Farrell moves to inside centre and Shane Daly takes up his position at outside centre.

Gavin Coombes makes his 100th appearance for Munster.

Mike Haley continues at full-back where he is joined by Nash and Abrahams on the wings.

Craig Casey and Butler form the half-back partnership while Farrell and Daly start in the centre.

Wycherley, captain Diarmuid Barron and Jager pack down in the front row with the unchanged partnership of Jean Kleyn and Fineen Wycherley lining out at second row.

The back row remains unchanged with Ruadhán Quinn, John Hodnett and Coombes completing the starting 15.

Elsewhere, Connacht have made four changes from the side that narrowly lost to Munster last week to take on the Sharks at the Dexcom Stadium tomorrow night (7.35pm)

Niall Murray and Shane Jennings come in for the injured Joe Joyce and Shayne Bolton, while Finlay Bealham and debutant David O'Connor replace Jack Aungier and Darragh Murray, who were both selected in the Emerging Ireland tour of South Africa.
