Preview
Munster v Toulouse Today. Kick-off 3.15pm
MUNSTER make one change from their win over Edinburgh with Mike Haley drafted into the backs to replace Simon Zebo who will be out for a number of weeks after injuring a knee last weekend.
Haley, available again after sustaining concussion in the game against Connacht, is named at full-back. His inclusion sees Shane Daly switching from full-back to wing.
Conor Murray misses out as he continues to recover from the calf injury he picked up after coming on as a replacement in Ireland's win over South Africa. Craig Casey remains at scrum-half.
Casey will be partnered at half-back by Joey Carbery, with Jack Crowley, who started for Ireland against South Africa after Johnny Sexton's late withdrawal, on the bench alongside Keith Earls who is in line to make his first Munster appearance since September.
Carbery and Casey will be involved in a halfbacks battle with France stars Romain Ntamack and Antoine Dupont.
Five-times winners Toulouse – the most successful club in Champions Cup history – also include three France Grand Slam squad members from earlier this year – Thomas Ramos, Julien Marchard and Anthony Jelonch – and a strong bench with the likes of France squad men Peato Mauvaka, Cyril Baille and Thibaud Flament.
