LEO CULLEN HAS named his team to face Toulouse in Sunday’s Heineken Champions Cup meeting with Toulouse at Stade Ernest Wallon [KO 4.15pm, BT Sport 2].
Recent signing Joe Tomane has been handed his first European start for the province, in the only change from last week’s 52-3 win over Wasps.
The 28-year-old Australian’s inclusion sees Jordan Larmour move to full-back as Rob Kearney misses out through injury.
Rhys Ruddock, a late call-up last week for Dan Leavy who got injured in the warm-up, retains his place at blindside flanker.
Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose are paired in the centre, while the bench features Sean O’Brien and new Munster recruit Nick McCarthy.
