Toulon sweat on Guirado

Toulon coach Fabien Galthie is hopeful that French captain Guilhem Guirado will be fit for Saturday’s Champions Cup showdown against Munster at Thomond Park.

The 31-year-old hooker suffered a knee injury leading France to a 22-16 win over England in the Six Nations earlier this month, which ruled him out of their final game against Wales.

Guirado sat out Toulon’s 49-0 demolition of reigning Top14 champions Clermont Auvergne on Sunday, but is one of several players set to be available for the trip to Limerick.
