Munster name a much-changed side for their trip to Treviso on Sunday due to international commitments and the unavailability of 10 players due to injury.
Stadio Comunale di Monigo will be the setting for Munster, who endured further disruption to their plans when Peter Stringer was on Thursday called up to the Ireland squad.
Stringer's absence means Duncan Williams will partner Paul Warwick at half-back and academy prospect Cathal Sheridan is named on the bench.
Sheridan, plays his rugby with Ul Bohemians and last weekend scored a crucial try in his side's away win against Lansdowne.
Elsewhere there is a decided new look to the Munster formation with Simon Zebo on the wing and Tom Gleeson in the centre while Ian Nagle and Dave Foley form the second row just behind Darragh Hurley and Stephen Archer.
