The last couple of years have ensured that Racing and Munster will be inextricably linked for years to come, but this weekend the objective for Munster is to put some daylight between the sides. If you can't make the trip to France, and are wondering is the Munster game on Sky or BT, read on for details on where to watch Racing vs Munster.
Where to watch Racing vs Munster? Is the Munster game on Sky or BT?
Racing and Munster is live on Sky Sports Action from 3pm on Sunday. Kick-off is at 3.15pm.
Where are the sides in the pool?
Munster are top of Pool 4, with 15 points after back-to-back wins against Leicester Tigers and a gnarled win over Racing at a windswept Thomond on the second matchday. They sit four clear of Racing, who themselves are four points clear of third-placed Catres.
Have Munster any injury concerns?
Munster are hoping that Chris Cloete and Billy Holland are available, as both are undergoing Return To Play protocols. Former Racing second-row Gerbrandt Grobler may be fit to make his Munster debut against his former side, having recovered from the ankle surgery he was forced to undergo in pre-season.
Tyler Bleyendaal, Jaco Taute, Tommy O’Donnell, Calvin Nash and Niall Scannell are all out for Munster.
Any other business?
Some convenient timing by Racing ahead of this one: they announced the signing of Simon Zebo on Tuesday, which carried with it an interview with Zebo.
They [Teddy Thomas and Casey Laulala] convinced me by telling me about life at the club, on its own side very family, the fact that we were always there for each other, whether in the team or in the club as a whole. It is important to me that aspect. I like to feel surrounded, like family and I know that in Racing it will be the case. It is also a club that has a long and long history, a tradition, like Munster, but at the same time a very ambitious club, looking to the future and focused on winning. It is the very high level, like Munster, without denying the human side. In this sense the two clubs have a lot in common. I am a very determined person, a real competitor but I also need human warmth in everyday life.
A reminder on where to watch Racing vs Munster - it's live on Sky Sports Action from 3pm on Sunday.
