JJ Hanrahan has been handed the No.12 shirt for Munster's match at Clermont Auvergne this weekend.

Talk of Hanrahan's future has dominated the Irish press this week with Northampton reportedly keen to recruit him ahead of next season. Hanrahan has found himself behind Ian Keatley in the fly-half pecking order but he has been named alongside him for Sunday's match in France.

Hanrahan's inclusion is one of four changes to the side that fell to Clermont at home last weekend with John Ryan, Andrew Smith and Andrew Conway also starting.

Elsewhere Nathan Hines returns for Sale for their game against Gloucester and will play his first match since September after injuring his bicep. Cardiff Blues are in action in the Challenge Cup and they have named Sam Warburton at openside for his first match since the autumn internationals.
