Hayman back for Toulon

TOULON welcome back Carl Hayman to their extended squad for Sunday’s crunch match with Munster but lost Jocelino Suta after the lock was handed a 20-day suspension.

Former All Black tighthead prop Hayman was named in a 26-man squad to face Munster in the Heineken Cup showdown at a sold-out Stade Mayol having missed last weekend’s Top 14 defeat at Racing Metro with a neck injury.

However, there is still a chance he could miss out as the New Zealander is one of three non-European players in the extended squad. ERC rules permit a maximum of two “foreign” players in a match squad, meaning Toulon director of rugby Philippe Saint-Andre must omit Hayman, Felipe Contepomi or Juan Fernandez Lobbe, who yesterday signed a three-year contract extension, when he names his starting side and replacements later today.
