Munster already on the attack in the Racing 22 as O'Donnell makes a break
Matt and Andrew, as a nervous Munster fan I'm not nearly as dismissive of this Racing side so I'd postpone any accusations until we see how they go. Whatever the result here today, this group is going to hinge on Glasgow vs Munster.
Well said Ruairi, so do I!

Andrew, ask yourself has Glasgow ever benefited from the Welch or Irish sides having half their squads missing? Say, during a world cup year. Its swings and roundabout!
Welcome to our coverage of this huge Champions Cup fixture between Racing and Munster. This game was rearranged for this weekend after the tragic death of Anthony Foley last year. Munster can go top of their pool with a victory here today. They've lost just once since this game was postponed and will be favourites in this game as Racing have won only once in their last 5 games. They've picked a weakened side today as they cannot qualify for the next round of this years competition as they are yet to register a point in the pool after losing all of their games so far. Kickoff is at 15:45. Stay tuned for more updates.
Connacht fan here. I just hope Munster pick up a try bonus point here today. SUAF
Easy to have that attitude when your teams are benefitting from these disgraceful flops. but imagine Leinster and Munster's rivals were benefitting from 2nd teams selections from teams that had already been knocked out.
Don't write off this Racing selection Matt.
Its the head coaches job to pick the team he thinks is appropriate for the game. He also had to manage the team players to give the club the best chance of getting silverware. Can't see how he can do his job if some authority can say he should have done different.
