    Munster:
    Mike Haley; Darren Sweetnam, Rory Scannell, Damian de Allende, Matt Gallagher; JJ Hanrahan, Craig Casey;
    James Cronin, Kevin O’Byrne, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Fineen Wycherley; Jack O’Donoghue (C), Tommy O’Donnell, Gavin Coombes.

    Replacements: Diarmuid Barron, Josh Wycherley, John Ryan, Billy Holland, Jack O’Sullivan, Nick McCarthy, Ben Healy, Dan Goggin.

    Ospreys:

    15. Mat Protheroe
    14. Luke Morgan
    13. Tiaan Thomas-Wheeler
    12. Keiran Williams
    11. Hanno Dirksen
    10. Stephen Myler
    9. Shaun Venter

    1. Gareth Thomas
    2. Ifan Phillips
    3. Tom Botha
    4. Adam Beard
    5. Bradley Davies
    6. Will Griffiths
    7. Dan Lydiate ©
    8. Gareth Evans

    16. Dewi Lake
    17. Rhodri Jones
    18. Ma’afu Fia
    19. Rhys Davies
    20. Olly Cracknell
    21. Matthew Aubrey
    22. Josh Thomas
    23. Scott Williams

    John Hodnett's likely season ending injury means TOD starts at 7. John Ryan is on the bench having been released by Ireland. After an excellent showing at fullback against Dragons, Matt Gallagher moves onto the wing.

    Ospreys arrive in Limerick with a poor season to date under their belts, with a surprise loss at Zebre last week a particular low point.

    Munster should expect a full return from tomorrow.

    You must expect Munster to overpower Ospreys quite comfortably, and perhaps de Allende to break his duck...and Gallagher to have a massive impact today

    Providing Munster do the minimum today and come away with 4 points, that will leave them 7 points clear of Scarlets with a game in hand.

    Not a bad position to be in this early in the campaign after beating the main conference rivals already.

    I would personally be happy with 4 points and no injuries this early in the season. Munster would be 7 clear of Scarlets with a game in hand if that's how it plays out.

    Munster will absolutely hammer them...I expect a 25 point win ... Munster have a bench that will turn the screw in the second half...

    Just posting here to make sure this is the thread used for the match.

    Given Ospreys season to date and the Munster selection, I'd say a comfortable home win with BP unless there's horrible weather.

    Will hopefully see something more from DDA today. He has gone well thus far and shown glimpses of his talent but I certainly don't see the best 12 on the planet there yet.

    Kleyn broke Bradley Davies. Massive hit.

    incredibly sloppy try to concede.

    Would have liked to have seen it again. Lydiate looked to change his line to give him a shove

    Anyone else having trouble getting the EirTV app to cast this to a streaming device, a ChromeCast in my case?
    Currently watching the match in low-res chunk-o-vision on TG4 :(

    Seemed very similar to a try Munster got early in the season, with Haley offloading setting up the counter attack (can’t quite remember against who?).

    Casey needs to be more demanding so he can get it quicker

    Nice try by Coombes, and great to see TOD taking the ball into contact at least 3 times in that move

    Opened up for Haley there. Think he’ll be favoured over Daly come the the bigger games.

    The Ospreys back 5 are dangerous in open play, serious pace out of them.

    Apart from the Ospreys back three, they're offering not much.
    Good half from Munster, two glaring errors in the red zone but very good besides that.

    Have to agree... TOD putting his head into places you shouldn't.... having a fine game... Coombes showing pace, skill and strength...surely an international cap won't be far away if he keeps on this upward trajectory

    Yeah, quietly going about business. I hope he gets an injury free run.

    Coombess does seem a special talent, massive engine on him... speed and power... just needs more back of the scrum practice I suppose.....
    that first ty was a thing of beauty though, and the chase after that kick from Scannell (I think) he was keeping pace with Sweets..

    Coombes will be pushing for European starts with how he’s been going this season.

    On a side note tho, I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen an all female commentating team, even down to Jenny Murphy on the sideline. Fair play, TG4.

    This is farcical

    The ref shouldn't have blown his whistle so fast, it's the ref getting himself directly involved in the game
