Sheehan switches to number eight for Munster derby

Leinster captain Dan Sheehan will start at number eight for the first time in Saturday's United Rugby Championship interprovincial derby against Munster at the Aviva Stadium. The change comes as one of four alterations made by head coach Leo Cullen following Ireland's recent 48-23 Champions Cup victory over Clermont Auvergne. Ireland scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park makes his first appearance of the season, while former Munster out-half Joey Carbery earns his first start since rejoining Leinster.
