The Munster side has been named for Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup clash against Castres Olympique at Thomond Park (8pm).
There are five changes to the side that secured a bonus-point win over Wasps in Coventry five days ago.
Ben Healy starts at out-half with Niall Scannell, John Ryan, Jean Kleyn and Jack O’Donoghue coming into the pack.
19-year-old Greencore Munster Rugby Academy full-back Patrick Campbell keeps his place in the starting XV with five players set for their European debuts off the bench.
Hooker Diarmuid Barron, prop Keynan Knox, out-half Jack Crowley and Academy back-row forward Alex Kendellen are all primed for their Champions Cup bows.
Jason Jenkins is named in a matchday squad for the first time and set for his Munster debut after joining the province last summer.
Dave Kilcoyne, Scannell and Ryan pack down in the front row with Kleyn and Tadhg Beirne in the engine room.
Captain Peter O’Mahony, John Hodnett and O’Donoghue complete the pack.
Conor Murray and Healy are in the half-backs with Damian de Allende and Chris Farrell continuing their centre partnership.
The back three of Campbell, Keith Earls and Andrew Conway is unchanged.
Earls scored his 22nd Champions Cup try last week and is now one try away from equalling Anthony Foley and Simon Zebo’s record of 23 Munster tries in the competition.
Munster: Patrick Campbell; Andrew Conway, Chris Farrell, Damian de Allende, Keith Earls; Ben Healy, Conor Murray; Dave Kilcoyne, Niall Scannell, John Ryan; Jean Kleyn, Tadhg Beirne; Peter O’Mahony (C), John Hodnett, Jack O’Donoghue.
Replacements: Diarmuid Barron, Josh Wycherley, Keynan Knox, Jason Jenkins, Jack O’Sullivan, Craig Casey, Jack Crowley, Alex Kendellen.
Bundee Aki returns to the Connacht centre for Sunday’s trip to Leicester.
He’s been missing since suffering a knee injury prior to Ireland’s win over Argentina last month.
Tiernan O’Halloran and Kieran Marmion come into the backs, while Dave Heffernan, Finlay Bealham and Ultan Dillane are restored to the front-five.
All matches pitting French teams against sides from the UK have been postponed due to travel restrictions.
