Bleyendaal makes first start since last October as Munster name XV for Glasgow

Munster’s New Zealand out half Tyler Bleyendaal is set to make his first start for the province since October in Friday night’s Guinness Pro14 encounter with Glasgow at Musgrave Park.

UL Bohemians James Hart will start at 9 alongside Bleyendaal who returned to action last weekend in the disappointing loss to Cardiff and kicked a late penalty to snatch a losing bonus point.

Billy Holland captains the side in his 180th appearance for the province as Head Coach Johann van Graan makes 12 changes to the team beaten in Cardiff last week.
