Munster will have some bench in Glasgow.
Munster are on their travels to Glasgow this Friday for a Guinness Pro14 clash with the Warriors. Johaan Van Graan’s men got their campaign off to a flier in Thomond Park last weekend when they thrashed the Cheetahs 38-0.
There were a number of positives for the men in red on Sunday. Shane Daly fared well on the wing with his pace, zeal and endeavour causing the Cheetahs problems at the back and saving Munster’s back on occasions in defence.
Another promising sign for Munster was Joey Carbery’s introduction off the bench. The former Leinster man showed well after his introduction in the second half of that game.

Carbery will have to make-do with a seat in the stands again this weekend with JJ Hanrahan retaining the number 10 jersey ahead of him. He will be joined on the bench by the newly recruited Tadhg Beirne and Jaco Taute, now free from injury worries.
That’s one hell of a list of replacements the men of Munster have.
Munster team
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.
Replacements: Rhys Marshall, James Cronin, Stephen Archer, Fineen Wycherley, Tadhg Beirne, Duncan Williams, Joey Carbery, Jaco Taute.

The province beat Scarlets in their campaign opener will be hoping to build on that solid start.
Dan McFarland is without a number of his scrummagers including Rory Best and Kyle McCall but he still has a decent pack to choose from, with Jordi Murphy set to make his debut for the province.
Both games are live on eir Sport from 7.35.
