French champions Stade Francais Paris will be without influential scrum half Agustin Pichot for their Heineken Cup quarter-final trip to Limerick to face Munster on Saturday.
The Argentinean star didn't train with the Paris-based side today and is still suffering from a back injury.
It means that Gregory Mahe teams up with Diego Dominguez at half-back as the French side attempt to become the first team to beat Munster at Thomond Park in the Heineken Cup and progress through to the semi-finals for the first time since 2001.
Thomas Lombard steps in at wing as first choice Raphael Poulain has an injured calf.
