Munster bringing the heavy artillery to Galway

Head coach Anthony Foley has recalled international trio Paul O'Connell, Peter O'Mahony and Simon Zebo to start Munster's Guinness PRO12 clash with Connacht at the Sportsground tomorrow (5.0).

O'Mahony returns to captain the side and is one of five changes.

In the front row BJ Botha trades places with Stephen Archer and packs down next to John Ryan and Duncan Casey, while in the second row Paul O'Connell renews his partnership with Billy Holland.

O'Mahony goes in at blindside so CJ Stander makes the positional switch to number eight.

The changes to the backline see JJ Hanrahan start at 12 for the second time in as many weeks, while Simon Zebo starts at fullback for the first time this season.

MUNSTER (v Connacht):  S Zebo; A Conway, P Howard, JJ Hanrahan, R O'Mahony; I Keatley, D Williams; J Ryan, D Casey, BJ Botha; B Holland, P O'Connell; P O'Mahony (c), T O'Donnell, CJ Stander.  Replacements: K O'Byrne, E Guinazu, S Archer, D O'Callaghan, D O'Callaghan, N Cronin, R Scannell, I Dineen.
