Munster Stade Francais

CHRISTOPHE DOMINICI Full back. Age: 28. 21 caps.

ONE of the best wings in international rugby and equally adept at full back. Has blistering pace and wonderful balance.

RAPHAEL POULAIN Wing. Age: 21.

Has started five times this season and made one appearance as a replacement. Relatively inexperienced, but Munster will have to be wary of his pace.

CLIFF MYTTON Centre. Age: 32.

BIG New Zealand-born centre provides his team with the midfield muscle. A strong ball carrier with decent hands.

FRANCK COMBA Centre. Age: 30. 13 caps.

SUFFERED terribly at the hands and feet of Brian O'Driscoll in the Stade de France in 1999. The second-top try scorer in the competition with seven.

THOMAS LOMBARD Wing. Age: 25. 12 caps.

SWITCHED to the centre at international level and made a decent fist of the new demands. Tall and quick, he has a fine appreciation of finding space.

DIEGO DOMINGUEZ Outhalf. Age: 34. 62 caps (Italy).

BRILLIANT place-kicker and shrewd tactician who can play the expansive and kicking games with equal facility.

CHRISTOPHE LAUSSUCQ Scrumhalf. Age: 27. Four caps.

ENJOYS injecting pace into the game and likes to tap and go from free kicks and penalties.

SYLVAIN MARCONNET Prop. Age: 25. 15 caps.

A NOTED scrummager, he will target John Hayes in the tight.

FABRICE LANDREAU Hooker. Age: 32. Three caps.

TOUGH, abrasive mobile hooker who is one of the leaders in the pack.

PIETER DE VILLIERS Prop. Age: 28. 15 caps.

A STRONG, aggressive scrummager, he also contributes around the pitch. His battle with Peter Clohessy will have a major bearing in the set scrums.

DAVID AURADOU Lock. Age: 27. 14 caps.

MAKES a big contribution around the pitch both in defence and attack.

MIKE JAMES Lock. Age: 27. 36 caps (Canada).

THE Canadian international is an athletic performer, noted for his high work-rate.

CHRISTOPHE MONI Flanker. Age: 28. Eight caps.

WAS sin-binned in a game against Castres for a head-butt. Stade appealed and he is free to play. Very accomplished with a high work-rate.

RICHARD POOL-JONES Flanker. Age: 30. One cap (Eng).

Traditional openside who likes to get down and scrap for ball on the deck.

CHRISTOPHE JUILLET Number eight. Age: 32. 10 caps.

MOST of the attacking gambits from setpiece play revolve around the powerful Juillet. The physique of the piano shifter with the hands and skill of a piano player.
