Simon Zebo and Andrew Conway have both been named in the Muntster side for Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final with Toulon at Thomond Park.
Zebo has overcome a hamstring injury to play while Conway (knee) and Rory Scannell have also returned as Munster look to get back to the Champions Cup semi-finals following last year’s defeat to Saracens at the Aviva Stadium.
Zebo missed last weekend’s Pro14 win over the Scarlets due to a hamstring injury, which forced him off halfway through the match, however, he has since recovered to play in what could be his final Champions Cup appearance for Munster at Thomond Park.
No better place to play knockout European rugby than Thomond Park..
Hands up if your excited 🤗
