Johann van Graan has backed his squad’s strength in depth as Munster look set to face Toulouse in Dublin this Saturday still missing a number of key players.

With more than 30,000 tickets already sold for the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final clash with the defending champions at Aviva Stadium, the head coach can rely on plenty of support for his team’s bid to upset the odds and reach the European semi-finals for the third time in his five-season tenure.
