Best back seven weeks after arm injury

HEINEKEN CUP POOL 5:

A fit again Best is joined in the pack by skipper Johann Muller who came through a strenuous test on a troublesome calf muscle after missing the last two games. The back-line as the same that faced Munster last week with wing Andrew Trimble making a record 58th European appearance for the province.

However, it will be seen as a miraculous return for Best who broke his arm during that agonising defeat against New Zealand seven weeks ago. After discussion with the medical backroom staff, coach Mark Anscombe decided to name the 31-year-old international for the important European battle against a French side who travel with a so-called weakened line-up.
