Mike Sherry returns for Munster as Johann van Graan eyes Toulon

The team will again be captained by Billy Holland, in his 150th game for the province, while hooker Mike Sherry makes his first start since April, 2016.

With Chris Cloete out of commission for the remainder of the season, because of a fractured arm, tonight’s game affords Conor Oliver the opportunity to put his hand up for the number 7 jersey against Toulon, while Robin Copeland, who departs for Connacht at the end of the season, has been rewarded for some impressive recent performances with retention at number eight.
