WATCH – Johann van Graan on Toulon threat and Munster front row strength and depth

Toulon will come into this weekend’s Champions Cup quarter final at Thomond Park with a swagger about them following their 49-0 demolition job on Clermont in the Top 14 last week.

With a squad filled with highly paid superstars, the European giants have started to show signs that they are ready to reach the lofty heights of years past following a period of instability at the club.

Munster boss Johann van Graan knows his side can’t afford to leave anything out on the pitch if they’re to claim a semi-final spot.

“I’ve coached some of those (Toulon) players and I’ve coached against quite a lot of them on the International stage. Everywhere is star players, we’ll have to be at our very best to get a result on Saturday.

The South African also speaks about Munster’s multiple front row options in the video below.
