Form Guide
Munster will come into this game with a lot of confidence behind them after back-to-back key victories over Ulster and Cardiff in the URC. Morale was low after the first leg defeat to Exeter, which followed their defeat to Leinster in the URC. However, in Johann Van Graan’s final weeks as manager, they have dug deep to get vital victories at a crucial stage of the season.
Toulouse come into this game in mixed form, with inly two victories in their last five. However, with World class players all over the pitch, a moment of magic can come from anywhere, especially with Antoine Dupont in the side.

Munster are still without Tadhg Bernie, Andrew Conway and Dave Kilcoyne for this weekend. Joey Carbery and Damien De Allende come in for Rory Scannell and Ben Healy.
Both Josh and Fineen Wycherley start in the pack, with Jack Daly set to make his European debut from the bench.
van Graan has opted to start Conor Murray over Craig Murray, a decision that could prove fateful to the outcome of the game.
