Arnold the only change in Munster team for Glasgow

Head Coach Johann van Graan has opted to make just one change to the Munster team that faces Glasgow Warriors in Scotstaun tomorrow night.

Sammy Arnold comes into the starting side for Dan Goggin, while Irish international Tadhg Beirne could make his Munster debut after being named on the bench.

Joey Carbery, who came on as a replacement in the 38-0 win over the Toyota Cheetahs last weekend, must also settle for a spot on the bench.

Van Graan has named an unchanged back three, with Mike Haley named at full back in between Darren Sweetnam and Shane Daly on the wings.

Rory Scannell and Arnold are the two centres, while JJ Hanrahan and Neil Cronin are once again given the nod at half back.

The front row of Dave Kilcoyne, Mike Sherry and John Ryan also retain their places, as do Jean Kleyn and Billy Holland in the second row. Holland will once again captain the side. The back row is also unchanged after impressing against the Cheetahs.

Dave O’Callaghan starts as blindside flanker, Tommy O’Donnell at openside and Arno Botha gets another chance to impress at number eight.

Elsewhere, Jaco Taute is named among the replacements and could make his return after an 11 month injury absence.

MUNSTER: Mike Haley; Darren Sweetnam, Sammy Arnold, Rory Scannell, Shane Daly; JJ Hanrahan, Neil Cronin; Dave Kilcoyne, Mike Sherry, John Ryan; Jean Kleyn, Billy Holland (C); Dave O’Callaghan, Tommy O’Donnell, Arno Botha.
