Conor Murray returns to Munster’s matchday squad and Joey Carbery has been handed a confidence boost after retaining the number 10 jersey for Sunday’s crucial Heineken Champions Cup pool clash at Toulouse.

Carbery, 27, was the surprise omission from Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations squad announced on Thursday as head coach Andy Farrell opted for Munster team-mate Jack Crowley and Leinster Ross Byrne alongside first-choice fly-half and captain Johnny Sexton.
