Bordeaux-Begles may pack a world-class punch with Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Damein Penaud on their wings but Calvin Nash believes Munster’s new-look back three can also do plenty of damage.

It was a first outing for the trio of Nash, fellow wing Andrew Smith and full-back Thaakir Abrahams at La Rochelle last Saturday and all three made significant impacts to help Munster secure their 25-24 Champions Cup Round of 16 victory. South African Abrahams, who joined from Lyon last summer, was making his first appearance since mid-December while former Ireland Sevens player Smith is just two games into his Munster career having joined on loan from Connacht last month for the rest of the season.
