Young Munster’s Alan Tynan,  Garryowen’s David McCarthy and Liam Coombes who earn their first caps, Shannon RFC’s Conor Fitzgerald, who was only called into the squad as an injury replacement on Monday will also start.

UL-Bohemian prop Joey Conway, Shannon hooker Adam Moloney and flanker John Foley, while Young Munster’s Gavin Coombes will also all feature.
