Despite being banned in France for 10 weeks, ROG still manages to get into town with his band of French marauders.  

Prediction:  ROG goin home with a smirk and cinq points.  

Teams

Hopefully.

Thanks Pot. We are shyte and we know we are etc

Tough game this for Munster. Racing not in the best of form but have a squad that could easily turn it on and put Munster to the sword.

We will be lucky to get a point out of this

I don't know, its fairly bad weather is pretty bad, that will help Munster as the big Racing pack may tire early.

Dan Carter has taken a knock, does not look good for him.

Sure it's an Irish ref, so the results in the bag for Munster

Terrible from Munster there, really should have gone for the points on offer.

Well this is a poor game. Not sure what to make of it. Munster should have taken the points on offer.

Just hoping that this big Racing pack tires in the second half because right now, it does not look as if Munster will score a try.

Wind is too blustery for goal kicking. Game is quite good given the conditions.

20 out and in front? Thomond can be blustery but not so bad that you cant take those kick opportunities.

With Leicester already a TBP up and looking very likely to win against Castres, this almost becomes a must win for Munster to stay in the competition.

At the time it was worth a go. Don’t think any penalty was in front of the posts which is where you need it. Don’t think you realise quite how the weather is at the moment. It’s like the sportsgrounds by 10.

Ok, it may have been a few meters to the side but it was as good as in front for me. Not many other kicks seem to be affected by the wind so it may not be as bad as ye think.

What a play from Keatley to Zebo, beautiful instinctive pass from Zebo. If only Earls had held on to it. Beautiful flair play

Murray

Best 9 in world rugby.

How is it 0-0 after 60 mins?

* Now it's 5-0...

Unbelievable from Munster, from struggling to keep Racing out to being 14-0 up.

Great, always good to see big spenders get beaten. Obviously Racing's wage bill is quadruple that of Munster's before PhilBB shows up.

Jeebus, I thought that was going to end badly with another draw for Munster.


Big game for the boys to win, very happy.

Massive congrats to Leicester for their big win over Castres too.

Great gritty win for the men in red.  Congrats.

2 teams on 6 points. And Racing on 5

The double header against Leicester should be crackers.  

Castres have faded once again so Racing could get a nice Xmas present with full points from both.

Not so sure Castres win & other losing team get only 0 point then Castres 2nd in pool

Fair play to Munster, that's 2 weeks running now they've got out of jail but you make your own luck I suppose.

Ulster could learn a thing or 2 about grinding out results from this Munster side.
