Johnny Sexton's younger brother Jerry will start for the Southern Kings in their clash against Munster in the Pro14 tomorrow.

The sides will meet in Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth at 3pm Irish time on Saturday in the second round of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Munster have named a strong team to take on the South African side with Tommy O'Donnell captaining the side.

O'Donnell could still be in with a chance of playing in the Rugby World Cup if Jordi Murphy cannot continue after coming off injured during Ireland's win over Russia.

Recently capped Ireland international Mike Haley starts at fullback while Rory Scannell and JJ Hanrahan also feature in a strong backline.
