Joey Carbery will start his first game for Munster this season when they take on Ulster in the Guinness Pro14 tomorrow.
The out-half is joined by his Ireland teammate Conor Murray in the half-backs for the game at Kingspan Stadium.
"He is a class operator. It is good to have him back," forwards coach Graham Rowntree said of Carbery's return to fitness in recent weeks following four months dogged by a leg injury.
“He is crucial, he got some game-time under his belt. Been out for a long time. You can see his frustration. But he has slid straight back in and is training well.
Peter O'Mahony returns to captain the side from the back-row while there's a start for Keith Earls on the wing.
Ireland internationals Iain Henderson and Jacob Stockdale are both back for Ulster.
Henderson resumes the captaincy and is paired with Alan O'Connor in the second-row.
Stockdale comes in on the wing while Nick Timoney has been brought in at number eight.
