Munster name team for Champions Cup trip to Clermont

Josh Wycherley is set to make his first European start for Munster in their Heineken Champions Cup game away to ASM Clermont Auvergne on Saturday evening.

The academy prop comes in as one of three changes that Johann van Graan has made from the side that saw off Harlequins last weekend.

He takes the place of James Cronin who's been ruled out after sustaining an injury in training.

Another change to the front row will sees hooker Rhys Marshall start alongside tight-head prop Stephen Archer.

Last weekend’s Star of the Match Tadhg Beirne and Jean Kleyn continue in the second row, as do the trio of Gavin Coombes, captain Peter O’Mahony and CJ Stander in the back row.

Shane Daly makes his first provincial appearance of the season starting on the left wing with Keith Earls making the switch to the opposite flank as Mike Haley completes the back three.

Damian De Allende and Chris Farrell form the centre partnership with Conor Murray and JJ Hanrahan in the half-backs.
