Rugby:Having been passed fit yesterday, Connacht captain John Muldoon will take his place in the backrow for tomorrow night's Amlin Challenge Cup semi-final against Toulon at the Sportsground.
Michael Bradley has made just one change from the side that overcame Bourgoin in the last eight with Aidan Wynne coming into the centre for the injured Keith Matthews.
Elsewhere, Frank Murphy will start at scrumhalf having shaken off an ankle injury while prop Jamie Hagan and centre Niva TA’auso are also fit to start.
The Toulon team sheet may not contain the names of Pierre Mignoni or Sonny Bill William (both are named on the bench) but the visitors will arrive in Galway with plenty of firepower.
Jonny Wilkinson, Johann Christiaan Van Niekerk and Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe all start as Philippe Saint-André’s side attempt to complete a European and domestic double.
Former Munster prop Tim Ryan, who was on the losing side the last time he played at the Sportsground, is included on a formidable looking replacements bench.
Scotland flanker John Barclay, meanwhile, today escaped suspension, despite being found guilty of stamping on Rhys Ruddock during Glasgow’s Magners League win over Leinster.
Barclay was cited for trampling on Ruddock’s ankle during Friday night’s 30-6 victory at Firhill. The case was heard last night by an independent Scottish Rugby discipline panel, who upheld the citing.
But Scottish Rugby said in a statement: “The panel did not feel the incident warranted a red card so no suspension was given to the player, who is free to play.”
