Talked about in the build up to this weekend's second Champions Cup semi-final, Munster fans have duly delivered.
Taking on Racing 92 in France, the Irish province have nonetheless made sure red is the colour in Bordeaux today.

No trip would be complete without a passionate rendition of "The Fields of Athenry" either, be it on the street ...
Fantastic atmosphere outside the stadium as fans make their way into the ground with less than 15 minutes to kick-off, massive travelling support! #R92vMUN #BordeauxBound?? pic.twitter.com/dPa4asIOpE

In fact, you would be forgiven for thinking the whole of the province had taken leave to join in the support.
Alas, there are still some people keeping up their end at home.
