Quotes corner
Graham Rowntree on Munster's win over Edinburgh last time out:
“We gave them some freebies early on,” he told reporters. “We had spoken about how dangerous they were in attack but we were falling off tackles, threw an intercept and gave them access to our 22 with a poor penalty.
“We scored some good tries before half time, including a crucial one just before the break, because we hadn’t had a lot of territory up to then. The half time talk was all about being patient and sticking to the plan. The message was to keep the ball and be a bit more direct.”
Team news
Conor Murray will miss out with the same injury that ended his Autumn International series for Ireland.
Antoine Dupont is available for selection having had his suspension for a red card reduced.
