Jones keeps the faith in starting XV
Director of Rugby Lyn Jones has put his faith in the team that beat Glasgow Warriors last weekend, by naming the same side to face Munster at Rodney Parade this Friday (KO 19.15).
Dan Evans starts at 15 with Will Harries and Matthew Pewtner completing the back three. The midfield combination of Pat Leach and Ross Wardle start for the third time this season. Last weekend’s man of the match, Jason Tovey keeps his place at fly half alongside International scrum half Richie Rees.
Owen Evans, Sam Parry and Francisco Chaparro make up the front row, while young gun Cory Hill and skipper Rob Sidoli fill the second row berths. The back row features Lewis Evans, Nic Cudd and number eight Netani Talei.
