Rugby – Team News:With Sam Tuitupou sidelined for three weeks due to suspension, the Munster number 12 jersey will be worn by Johne Murphy for tomorrow's sold-out Heineken Cup clash against Toulon at Thomond Park (kick-off 3.30pm).
The versatile Murphy is familiar with the outside centre role having lined out there for the province in their three opening Magners League games, before reverting to the wing against Glasgow and Leinster and later at fullback against London Irish in the Heineken Cup opener last weekend.
"I don't mind where they pick me, once they do," said Murphy, just happy to get the nod and the only change to the back line. Tuitupou was banned for three weeks for his dangerous tackle on London Irish scrumhalf Paul Hodgson.
Up front coach Tony McGahan has made four changes, one positional, from the side that lost at the Madjeski Stadium last weekend.
Alan Quinlan returns and will win his 202nd cap which means Denis Leamy moves back to number eight, while David Wallace holds onto the openside berth. Wallace made a big impression when introduced for the injured Niall Ronan last week.
Mick O'Driscoll will partner Donncha O'Callaghan while Jerry Flannery returns to the squad for the first time since the semi-final in San Sebastian.
