JJ Hanrahan to make his full Munster debut against Zebre

The 20-year-old was a replacement in the Heineken Cup win over Edinburgh but comes into the side alongside Casey Laulala.

JJ HANRAHAN MAKES his full Munster debut against Zebre on Friday night, in a side that shows nine changes from the team that beat Edinburgh so easily in last weekend’s Heineken Cup clash.

The 20-year-old was a replacement in that game but comes into the side alongside Casey Laulala.

Felix Jones starts his first senior game after spending six months on the sidelines with a serious shoulder injury, while Donnacha Ryan moves from blindside to lock in place of Paul O’Connell.

Blindside duties fall to Peter O’Mahony, with Paddy Butler taking the number eight jersey.

Duncan Williams replaces Conor Murray at scrum-half, while BJ Botha is replaced by Stephen Archer in the pack.

Team v Zebre: F Jones; L O’Dea, C Laulala, JJ Hanrahan, S Zebo; I Keatley, D Williams; D Kilcoyne, M Sherry, S Archer; Donncha O’Callaghan, D Ryan; Dave O’Callaghan, P O’Mahony, P Butler.

Replacements: D Varley, M Horan, BJ Botha; B Holland, T O’Donnell; C Murray, J Murphy, D Hurley.
