A 26,000 sellout is expected at Thomond Park this evening when provincial rivals Munster and Leinster go head-to-head in the Guinness Pro 12.
Leo Cullen's side defeated the Reds the last time the two sides met in October, but Munster are unbeaten in the league since that game.
The Reds have made three changes from the side that lost to Leicester in the Champions Cup nine days ago, with James Cronin, Jean Kleyn and Ronan O'Mahony all included.
Leinster meanwhile have named a total of 10 changes, with Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip and Devin Toner among the players who have been left out.
Munster head coach Rassie Erasmus says they owe it to both sets of fans to make it an entertaining evening.
Kick off in Limerick is at 5.30.
Also today in the Pro 12, Welsh sides Cardiff and Newport face off at 2.05, and Scottish rivals Edinburgh and Glasgow meet in Murrayfield at 4.05.
