Clayton McMillan has promised his Munster side will give it a good shake as they attempt to rebound from a heavy URC defeat in the cauldron of Toulon’s Stade Felix Mayol on Sunday.

The head coach has named his strongest available side in a attempt to deliver a first home defeat of the season to the French Top 14 heavyweights, making 10 changes from the side outgunned 28-3 by Ulster last Friday night in Belfast, including the recalling of Ireland international quartet Tadhg Beirne, the captain, Craig Casey, Jack Crowley, and Tom Farrell, all of whom had missed the URC derby due to IRFU-mandated rest.
