The teams make their way out onto the field. Kick off is moments away!

What happened Paul? He probably needed rest with leinster next weekend

The hosts make a raft of changes after their defeat to The Scarlets 2 weeks ago. Rob Penney makes four changes in the backline with Felix Jones, Downey and Hanrahan coming into the side and also Keith Earls returning to the side after sustaining a knee injury in January and taking his place on the right wing. In the pack Rob Penney makes 7 changes in total with Donnacha Ryan the only survivor from the side that were defeated by Scarlets. Varley returns at Hooker after missing since January but the unfortunate news is that Rob Penney selected Paul O'Connell to start tonight but the Irish captain pulled out of the side this morning with a slight shoulder problem and is not risked so the home fans will have to wait till the match against Leinster in the Aviva next week. As for Treviso they have fielded a very strong side for tonights game and have named Italian internationals Angelo Esposito, Michele Campagnaro, Edoardo Gori, Robert Barbieri, Lorenzo Cittadini and Alberto De Marchi in their starting side. And also have two more internationals to call upon with Ghiraldini and McClean taking their place on the bench tonight and will be brought on if needed as they are eased back into club Rugby. Kick off is coming up so stay with us for updates and analysis of this Pro12 game live from Thomond Park.

Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this Pro12 game where Italian side Treviso travel to Thomond Park to take on Munster. Treviso have a difficult task tonight as Munster are the only side in the Pro12 to have 100% record at home this season and the home supporters will expect nothing less than a win and a bonus point tonight as they look to secure a semi-final spot. With rivals Leinster and Ulster both winning last night a win is vitally important as they look to climb up the table and into second ahead of Ulster. As for Treviso they go into this game very low confidence losing their last 7 games in all competitions with their last win coming against Zebre in December. An Italian side has never won on Irish soil so all Treviso fans will be hoping for a miracle tonight. kick off is half an hour away so stay with us for further updates and analysis.
