Preview

We are set for another Champions Cup classic at Thomond Park on Saturday as European knock-out rugby returns to Thomond Park.

These sides have met twice at Thomond Park in recent years at the quarter-final stage of the competition with Munster pulling away in the final quarter to progress.

This is set to be an altogether different occasion, however, with the match being played behind-closed-doors and not in front of a capacity crowd at Thomond Park.

Toulouse will travel full of confidence and boast a side littered with household names such as Cheslin Kolbe, Romain Ntamack, Antoine Dupont and Jerome Kaino among others.

The French side have already won in Belfast this season, dashing Ulster’s Champions Cup hopes and a huge challenge awaits Johann van Graan’s Munster on Saturday afternoon.
