Jack O'Donoghue makes his return from injury tomorrow night when Munster travel to Wales in the United Rugby Championship.
The Waterford flanker suffered a heavy knee injury in the New Year's Day defeat to Connacht and while he did not require surgery, it was always expected that he would need three to four months to get back to fitness.
He has been named on the bench for the away day with Ospreys on Friday night as Munster aim to climb up the standings as the season starts to near the business end.
Tom Ahern starts the game in the second row where he packs down alongside RG Snyman.
There are three changes to the side that beat Zebre in their last outing, as Joey Carbery and Rory Scannell come into the backline and John Hodnett starts in the pack.
Mike Haley is set to make his 100th Munster appearance on his 100th start for the province. He makes up a backline with Seán O’Brien and Shane Daly in an unchanged back three.
Craig Casey is joined by Carbery in the half-backs while Hodnett returns from injury to start alongside Kendellen and Gavin Coombes in the back row.
Kick off at the Swansea.com Stadium is at 7.35 pm.
