Doug Howlett and Ian Dowling have been withdrawn from the Munster side for Sunday’s Heineken Cup semi-final clash with Biarritz.
Both players had been named in the starting team earlier today, but failed to come through the Captains Run this evening at Thomond Park Stadium.
It means that Lifeimi Mafi comes in from the bench to take Howlett’s place while Denis Hurley will take over on the other wing from Dowling.
