Paul O'Connell will start for Munster tomorrow night in their Rabo Pro 12 clash with Treviso at Thomond Park.

It comes just a week after he captained Ireland to Six Nations glory in Paris.

Keith Earls also comes into the side, starting for the first time since injuring his knee against Edinburgh in January.

They are two of 11 changes that head coach Rob Penney has made to the side from their defeat to the Scarlets earlier this month.

Damien Varley also returns to captain the side in the front row for his first start since January.
