Where to watch Castres vs Munster?

A win for Munster would leave them in a superb position to make it to the last eight, and also set them on the path to an all-important quarter-final at Thomond Park.

What's Munster's injury situation like? 

Chris Farrell is definitely out of Saturday's game with a quad muscle injury, while the injury that forced Joey Carbery out of the warm-up last weekend is continuing to be monitored and Chris Cloete has passed HIA and will be ready to play this weekend.

Stephen Archer may come into contention, but in spite of returning to training, the following players are unavailable: Tommy O’Donnell, Stephen Fitzgerald, Jean Kleyn, and Liam O’Connor. Munster say that James Cronin (leg), Rhys Marshall (hamstring), Jack O’Donoghue (knee), Dave O’Callaghan (foot), James Hart (knee), Dan Goggin (knee), Darren Sweetnam (back) are all "progressing with their rehabilitation".
