Munster's Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus has named his side to face the Ospreys on Saturday.

In total, there are five changes to the team which beat the Dragons last time out.

Ian Keatley, Billy Holland and John Ryan have been released from the national camp to get some game time and all start the match with Keatley slotting in at full-back.

Dave Kilcoyne, Rhys Marshall and John Ryan start in the front row with Darren O'Shea and Billy Holland partnered at lock. 

Dave O'Callaghan, Tommy O'Donnell and Jack O'Donoghue combine for an unchanged back row unit.

Duncan Williams and captain Tyler Bleyendaal are paired at half-back with Francis Saili and Rory Scannell in the centre.

Keatley starts at fullback with Darren Sweetnam and Ronan O'Mahony on the wings. 

Munster are currently top of the Guinness PRO12 Championship on 55 points after 14 games but are only a point ahead the Ospreys in second.

Leinster are in third spot on 51 points.
