Munster spluttered into gear in the first round of the Champions Cup against Castres last weekend, and were ultimately reliant on some dodgy refereeing to escape France with a draw. They will undoubtedly need to step up their performance level this weekend, as Ronan O'Gara's Racing 92 (to give them their official title) arrive in Limerick. If you are wondering where to watch Munster vs Racing, then read on.
Where to watch Munster vs Racing?
The game is live on Sky Sports Arena from 5.15pm.
What time is kick off?
Kick off at Thomond Park is at 5.30pm.
What is the Munster team?
Munster have made three changes to the side that played against Castres: Jean Kleyn has returned from a neck injury, while a similar injury has ruled Tyler Blyendaal out of contention. He is replaced at out half by Ian Keatley, with JJ Hanrahan on the bench. The third change is at hooker: Rhys Marshall in for Niall Scannell.
Here's the team in full:
Munster: Simon Zebo; Darren Sweetnam, Chris Farrell, Rory Scannell, Keith Earls; Ian Keatley, Conor Murray; Dave Kilcoyne, Rhys Marshall, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Billy Holland, Peter O’Mahony (Capt), Tommy O’Donnell, CJ Stander.
Replacements: Kevin O’Byrne, Liam O’Connor, John Ryan, Mark Flanagan, Jack O’Donoghue, Duncan Williams, JJ Hanrahan, Andrew Conway.
Who to look out for in the Racing team?
Dan Carter is their most recognisable face in the Racing squad, but keep an eye out also for their current superstar: Leone Nakarawa.
Will there be a ROG cam?
There will. O'Gara is serving a ten-match touchline ban in the TOP 14 for comments made about a match official after a defeat to La Rochelle, but it does not apply to European games, meaning O'Gara will be able to roam upon his second return home as a coach.
A reminder on where to watch Munster vs Racing 92: it's live on Sky Sports Arena from 5.15 pm this evening.
