Munster v Llanelli
</div>
Munster will be looking to cement their place at the head of pool 5 with a win against the Scarlets at Thomond Park. Following last week's impressive performance in deplorable conditions at Stradey they'll be looking to keep the momentum going into the Christmas period and the 5th and 6th rounds.
The Scarlets will only be playing for pride but given the talent in the side will not be underestimated by this Munster side and will have Stephen Jones back in the starting lineup for their trip to Thomond along with Alix Popham, Jon Davies, Ben Broster, Vernon Cooper and James Bater.
Miracle coach Declan Kidney, roundly praised for his decision to bring back in Anthony Foley by elements of the Irish press when the call was nothing but a no-brainer brings in Puciarello for Marcus Horan.
So can Scarlets salvage some pride or will Munster have too much for them???
