Munster coach Declan Kidney has been forced to re-shuffle his side for the Magners League clash with Ulster this evening following the withdrawal of lock Chris Wyatt and wing Barry Murphy.

Murphy's withdrawal through illness means that Brian Carney will make his debut for Munster while Shane O'Connor is promoted to partner Donncha Ryan in the second row.

Ross Noonan is named on the bench along with under-20 international Keith Earls.
