Terenure College can call upon the considerable talents of Eric Miller and Girvan Dempsey for a potentially hazardous journey to face Buccaneers at Ballinasloe tomorrow. Miller plays his first All-Ireland League match since joining the club from Leicester at the start of the season.
To accommodate him, New Zealander Gavin Hill moves to blindside flanker and there is a further change with Brendan Kavanagh restored to the other flank. Dermot Blaney and Peter O'Malley step down. There is one other alteration in the pack with Donal Hyland coming in for John Campbell.
Dempsey's return behind the scrum offsets the loss of Craig Fitzpatrick through injury. Billy Treacy moves to out-half, while Peter Walsh is introduced in the centre with Dempsey on the left wing.
Buccaneers are ostensibly at full strength but their selection hides several injury concerns. New Zealand number eight Martin Steffert is still bothered by a knee injury, a problem that afflicts Des Rigney.
Captain Brian Rigney has recovered from a shoulder problem. David Beggy, who switches to full back again, having played there is the opening match, has a touch of 'flu but is expected to play.
Cork Constitution visit Clifford Park with a severely depleted squad. John Kelly (hamstring trouble), Anthony Horgan (hamstring), Tommy Kiernan (concussion), Frankie Sheahan (knee) and Ultan O'Callaghan (groin) are all absentees.
Cian Mahony moves to the right wing while Alan Byrne comes into the centre with Academy player John Fogarty taking over the hooking duties. Donnacha O'Callaghan switches to the second row to accommodate the return of David Corkery.
Young Munster await a final medical report on second-row Mick O'Halloran who is troubled by a shoulder problem. New Zealand centre Richard Larkin is definitely out but better news is that scrumhalf Derek Tobin looks certain to return after a five-week lay-off with a calf injury.
Garryowen, at home to Galwegians, give a league debut to teenage out-half Jeremy Staunton.
