Current B&I Cup holders Munster lie second in pool one, two points behind Bedford Blues, and beat Nottingham 38-7 at Irish Independent Park in October.

The English Championship side are coached by former Munster Assistant Coach Ian Costello and will be keen to reverse that result tomorrow night.

Conor Oliver, Man of the Match in the Guinness PRO14 win over Connacht last Saturday night, is joined in the back row by fellow Garryowen man Sean O’Connor and Young Munster no.8 Gavin Coombes.

The Shannon quartet of Duncan Casey Ciaran Parker, Sean McCarthy and John Foley will provide cover for the front, second and back row.

John Poland, Conor Fitzgerald and Ronan O’Mahony – who could see his first action since recovering from a long-term injury – complete the replacements.
