MUNSTER head coach Johann van Graan has rung the changes to his side that will face Toyota Cheetahs in their Guinness PRO14 game in Bloemfontein tomorrow.

In all, van Graan has made nine switches from the team that beat Southern Kings in last week’s game in George.

Captain Peter O’Mahony, Andrew Conway and Simon Zebo are among those to re-enter the fray after playing no part in the Southern Kings victory.

Zebo and Conway are joined in the back three by Darren Sweetnam, who replaces Alex Wootton on the left wing.

Dan Goggin switches to the inside centre position after an impressive display at outside centre against Southern Kings. Sammy Arnold returns to the number 13 jersey.
