O'Gara scored all of Munster's points last weekend

Munster coach Tony McGahan has named an unchanged line-up for Sunday's Heineken Cup Pool One game against Perpignan.

The Irish province secured a narrow one-point win against the French side at Thomond Park last weekend.

"Nothing changes from last week. We'll concentrate on ourselves and our own performance, on what we have to do," said back row forward Alan Quinlan.

"We saw them at first hand last weekend and they're a good side. But that didn't come as a surprise to us."

"We knew that when the Pools were announced.

"We knew these back-to-backs would be crucial and our aim was to be travelling out there still in control of our own destiny.

"We've managed that and we know what we need to know about them so now for us it's a question of focussing on us, on our performance," added Quinlan.

Perpignan flanker Yohan Vivalda said after last weekend's game that Munster were more like an academy side but McGahan refuses to be riled by the comments.

"I didn't find Munster, who make up half the Irish team, very impressive," Vivalda told Midi Olympique.

"They weren't really exceptional - they didn't try to play the game," said the 21-year-old, playing in only his 10th game for the Catalans.

"At times I had the impression I was playing against an academy team," he added.

"The guy's entitled to his opinion," was McGahan's response.

Munster head the Pool on 10 points, with Northampton on nine, Perpignan on six and Treviso on four.
