Three absentees from Munster’s opening match in the Magners League are named in their squad to face Edinburgh.
Ronan O’Gara, Tomas O’Leary and Donnacha O’Callaghan all return to the Munster squad after missing the Province’s match against Aironi.
They should all feature in the match against Edinburgh, according to team manager Shaun Payne.
“Our away form wasn’t good last season, that’s something we are very conscious of and looking to improve. This weekend is an opportunity to begin that process and so it’s a massive game for us,†Payne said.
The match will kick-off in Murrayfield at 7.05pm on Friday.
