Johann van Graan says Munster are embracing the “massive challenge” of facing European champions Toulouse in Dublin this Saturday and the head coach believes his side is better equipped for it than when the teams last met 13 months ago.

Toulouse visited an empty Thomond Park at the Round of 16 stage of last season’s Heineken Champions Cup and powered home in the final phases of the game to win 40-33 on the way to lifting the trophy for a record fifth time.
