Anthony Foley isn’t keeping faith with the side that fell to a crushing home defeat to Leinster last weekend.
The Munster head coach has made seven changes to the starting fifteen from Sunday as he looks to deliver his side’s first win since mid-November.
Tommy O’Donnell makes his first start of the season at the Kingspan Stadium after coming off the bench in Thomond Park four days ago.
Dave Kilcoyne starts at loose-head, replacing the injured James Cronin, and BJ Botha also comes in for John Ryan as the South African has recovered from flu.
Mike Chisholm is the final forward change and he replaces Donnacha Ryan in the second row.
Ian Keatley starts at out-half with both wingers being replaced as Ronan O’Mahony and Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino come in for Keith Earls and Simon Zebo.

Ulster meanwhile are in completely different form to Foley’s men and Les Kiss has named an unchanged back line from last weekend’s 10-3 victory over Connacht.
Andrew Trimble will make history by becoming the first Ulster player to make 200 appearances and he retains his place on the wing.
All four changes come in the pack from Kiss as captain Rory Best comes back into the fold with Kyle McCall, Lewis Stevenson and Chris Henry all being recalled as Ulster look to stretch their winning streak to five.
