Munster v Leinster: Guinness PRO12 preview

Munster's Francis Saili will wear a microphone during the game

Munster take on Leinster at Thomond Park on Sunday, with Sky Sports providing ground-breaking insight at the game with player mic.

Centre Francis Saili will don a microphone, bringing unique coverage to the clash between the two Irish rivals which is live on Sky Sports 4 HD from 5pm.

The game also marks the potential return to action for Tommy O'Donnell, who takes his place on the bench, while Robin Copeland, Jack O'Donoghue and No 8 CJ Stander all get starts in the back-row.

Keith Earls and Simon Zebo are on the wings, while Andrew Conways takes up his duties at full-back.

Tyler Bleyendaal is joined by Conor Murray in the half-backs as Munster seek to cement third place in the PRO12 with a victory over fourth-placed Leinster.

Meanwhile, Sean Cronin makes his 100th appearance for Leinster when he pulls on the No 2 jersey for the clash.

Cronin made two appearances for Munster before heading to Leinster via Connacht. The hooker made his debut for the Dublin side in October 2011, against Edinburgh, and since then has scored 15 tries in 99 appearances for the club.

His selection means James Tracy occupies the replacements bench, next to Cian Healy who has been cleared to play while his appeal against a two-week ban is being heard.

Another replacement, Nick McCarthy, will make his first PRO12 appearance for Leinster, after appearing in last weekend's Champions Cup loss to Toulon.

Zane Kirchner starts at full-back with Fergus McFadden taking his place on the right wing and skipper Isa Nacewa on the left.
