Leinster change 12, Munster just 3 as teams named for PRO14 semi-final
By Online Editors
Defending champions Leinster have made a dozen changes to their starting XV for Friday night's Guinness PRO14 semi-final versus a Munster selection showing three changes from their outing last Sunday against Connacht.
Leinster stretched their winning streak in 2019/20 to 21 matches with last Saturday night's win over Ulster, but they have now made wholesale changes for their clash with Munster.
Winger Hugo Keenan, veteran second row Devin Toner and back row Will Connors, who has consigned Josh van der Flier to the bench, are the three repeat selections in a side that will be skippered by Johnny Sexton.
Munster's three changes see Stephen Archer, Billy Holland and Jack O’Donoghue coming into the pack. The backline remains unchanged for the third weekend in succession.
Mike Haley has recently recovered from a calf injury and is in line for his first appearance off the bench since the return to rugby.
Ahead of the semi-finals weekend, which also sees Ulster in action at Edinburgh on Saturday night, the IRFU have confirmed there were zero positive results after 234 players and staff were tested for coronavirus across the three provinces this week.
To date there have been 1,472 tests conducted across the IRFU professional player and staff group and nine positive tests reported from the academy system.
LEINSTER: Jordan Larmour; Hugo Keenan, Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw, James Lowe; Johnny Sexton (capt), Luke McGrath; Cian Healy, Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Devin Toner, Scott Fardy, Caelan Doris, Will Connors, Jack Conan. Reps: Sean Cronin, Ed Byrne, Michael Bent, Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, Jamison Gibson-Park, Ross Byrne, Rory O’Loughlin.
MUNSTER: Shane Daly; Andrew Conway, Chris Farrell, Damian de Allende, Keith Earls; JJ Hanrahan, Conor Murray; Jeremy Loughman, Niall Scannell, Stephen Archer, Tadhg Beirne, Billy Holland, Peter O’Mahony (capt), Jack O’Donoghue, CJ Stander.

I think for the first time in a long time the administrators have made some decent decisions. I’m not sure ranting about a coach from over a decade ago is the solution in comparison. I’m really happy to see some Aussie players playing well.
Go to commentsGreetings, my name is Cohen Green, and I am based in San Francisco, California, where I work within the real estate sector. Two months prior, I incurred a significant financial setback, losing $1.2 million in Bitcoin and USDT, owing to a fraudulent investment firm. The incident began when I received an enticing proposal from an organization called CANCAP, promising high returns and showcasing verified investor profits, which led me to invest the entire amount.
I initially encountered relentless demands for additional payments when attempting to withdraw funds. Shortly thereafter, their website vanished, and every attempt to contact them proved fruitless. I was left in shock, my hope of recovering the money dwindling. Despite my efforts with authorities, these fraudsters remained elusive. Approximately one month after the incident, while researching online, I discovered an article about MORPHOHACK CYBER SERVICE, a firm renowned for its expertise in crypto recovery. I reached out to them and was astonished by the efficiency and professionalism of their team. Employing sophisticated software tools, they managed to recover $816,000 from the total amount in under 72 hours, even months after the scam occurred. I remain profoundly grateful for their assistance and am still in awe of their capabilities.
