Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has again kept faith with largely the same side that has recorded three wins from three so far in this season's Pro14, for Friday night's trip to Scotstoun.

Again Erasmus makes just one change with Rory Scannell set for his first start of the new season against Glasgow Warriors. Named at inside centre, the Irish international starts alongside Chris Farrell for the first time.

Scannell's fellow international, Dave Kilcoyne, has successfully rehabbed the knee injury he sustained in the win over Cheetahs and is included among the replacements.

MUNSTER: Andrew Conway; Darren Sweetnam, Chris Farrell, Rory Scannell, Alex Wootton; Tyler Bleyendaal(capt), Duncan Williams; Liam O'Connor, Rhys Marshall, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Billy Holland; Sean O'Connor, Tommy O'Donnell, Jack O'Donoghue.
