RECAP: Munster v Racing 92
READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to the European Cup Round Two match between Munster and Racing 92 at Thomond Park, Limerick.
Munster host Racing 92 in what looks like a cracking renewal of the 2018 Champions Cup semifinal.
Racing 92 came out on top in that clash in 2018 and defeated Saracens 30-10 in their season opener last week, while Munster picked up all five points in a 32-13 win over Ospreys.
Munster have won four of their six pool games against Racing 92 in the Champions Cup, however, they lost their last such fixture 34-30 in Round 5 of the 2017/18 season.
