Munster Mash

Tough one this week. Munster away is game to be savoured and if we can get off to a good start who knows. There are no less than eleven first teamers injured including Charlie Sharples so Matt Banahan will be relishing his start.

There's only one other change from the side which overcame Castres with Ed Slater leading the side from the second row, and Gerbrandt Grobler dropping down to the bench. Kick off 1.00.

Munster drew at Sandy Park last week so will go into the game with some confidence as not many sides are getting any kind of result at Exeter even if it was blowing a gale.

The weather on Saturday is unlikely to be a deciding factor - a tropical 18 degress, dry and with a light breeze.

Gloucs: 15 Jason Woodward; 14. Matt Banahan, 13. Billy Twelvetrees, 12. Mark Atkinson, 11. Tom Marshall; 10. Danny Cipriani, 9. Callum Braley; 1. Josh Hohneck, 2. Franco Marais, 3. Fraser Balmain; 4. Tom Savage, 5. Ed Slater (captain); 6. Freddie Clarke, 7. Jake Polledri, 8. Ben Morgan

Reps: Henry Walker, Val Rapava Ruskin, Ciaran Knight, Gerbrandt Grobler, Gareth Evans, Ben Vellacott,. Owen Williams, Tom Hudson.

Unusually Munster change their entire front row and bring in Tommy O'Donnell in the back row.

Munster: 15 Mike Haley; 14 Andrew Conway, 13 Dan Goggin,12 Rory Scannell, 11 Darren Sweetnam; 10 Joey Carbery, 9 Duncan Williams; 1 James Cronin, 2 Rhys Marshall, 3 John Ryan; 4 Jean Kleyn, 5 Tadhg Beirne; 6 Peter O’Mahony (Captain), 7 Tommy O’Donnell, 8 CJ Stander.

Reps: Kevin O’Byrne, Dave Kilcoyne, Stephen Archer, Billy Holland, Arno Botha, Alby Mathewson, JJ Hanrahan, Sammy Arnold.
