There's no place for Ben Healy in Johann Van Graan's Munster 23 ahead of their crucial European Champions Cup meeting with Racing 92 on Sunday.
There was an expectation that 20-year-old Healy may have been called upon given Munster's injury-crisis at out-half, with Joey Carbury and Tyler Bleyendaal out injured.
JJ Hanrahan has recovered sufficiently from a hamstring problem to take his place at out-half, but there's no place either amongst the replacements for Healy.
📢 TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT
