Graham Rowntree is hoping that a bold selection move is backed up with a vital victory as Munster look to guarantee a place in the Champions Cup last 16.
After the opening pool defeat at home to Toulouse - with a losing bonus point secured - followed by the gritty away win at Northampton, the province host the Saints at Thomond Park knowing that a win should be enough to put them into the knock-outs before next week's tough trip to Toulouse.
"It's obviously a huge game, and I wouldn't disrespect Northampton by saying we have to beat them because we're going to Toulouse, that's not the motive," said Rowntree's assistant Denis Leamy.
