Simon Zebo will start for Munster in his final home game for the Irish province when they host Edinburgh in their Pro14 play-off at Thomond Park.

The return of the full-back, who joins Racing 92 in June, is one of 12 changes from the side that drew with Ulster.

Edinburgh centres Chris Dean and Mark Bennett both return along with full-back Blair Kinghorn.

The winning side will travel to play Champions Cup finalists Leinster in the Pro14 semi-final in Dublin on 19 May.

Zebo will be partnered in the back three by fellow Irish internationals Keith Earls and Andrew Conway while the influential Conor Murray returns at scrum-back.

Fly-half JJ Hanrahan, centre Sammy Arnold and prop James Cronin at the three Munster players to retain their starting roles.

Forwards Gerbrandt Grobler and Robin Copeland, who will also leave Munster at the end of the season, are named among the replacements.
