Hirinordoquy fit for Munster clash

France number eight Imanol Hirinordoquy has recovered from a broken nose to take his place for Biarritz against Munster in the Heineken Cup semi-final in San Sebastian on Sunday.

The biggest surprise is the omission of loose-head prop Fabien Barcella for the inclusion of Eduard Coetzee.

Englishmen Iain Balshaw and Ayoola Erinle will play their part in a backline operating without their talisman Damien Traille.

Biarritz Olympique (v Munster): I Balshaw; T Ngwenya, A Mignardi, A Erinle, J Gobelet; K Hunt, D Yachvili; E Coetzee, B August, C Johnstone, J Thion (capt), T Hall, M Lund, W Lauret, I Harinordoquy.

Replacements: R Terrain, F Barcella, R Hugues, M Carizza, F Faure; V Courrent, J Peyrelongue, P Bidabe.
