Munster: Mullins to partner Payne due to Henderson injury
Munster will go with a new-look centre partnership between Mike Mullins and Shaun Payne after Rob Henderson was ruled out with a head injury for the visit of The Ospreys to Thomond Park on Saturday evening.
It leaves Munster with two attacking options in place of a solid defensive unit and The Ospreys will look to take advantage of this unproven combination.
Shaun Payne will move into the centre and Mossie Lawlor will start on the wing in the only change from the side that overpowered Leinster in the Celtic League last week.
MUNSTER (v Ospreys): C Cullen; M Lawlor, S Payne, M Mullins, A Horgan; P Burke, P Stringer; M Horan, F Sheahan, J Hayes, D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell, A Quinlan, D Leamy, A Foley (capt).
Replacements. G McIlwham, J Flannery, T Hogan, J Williams, M Prendergast, J Holland, J Storey.
