Wilkinson: We can do parochialism too

TOULON fly-half Jonny Wilkinson believes Munster will be facing an entire region when then kick off at Stade Felix-Mayol tomorrow.

The sold-out stadium close to the Mediterranean waterfront is in the heart of the souther French town and has drawn plenty of comparisons with Munster’s own Thomond Park in terms of the atmosphere, noise and passion it creates.

Pool Three leaders Toulon, making their Heineken Cup debut this season have a chance to end Munster’s participation in thecompetition, though, and theEngland World Cup winner from 2003 believes the Toulonnais fans can play their part.
