By God, Munster are up for this bloody match.
Munster are bringing an almighty fight to Racing 92 in the Champions Cup pool encounter, in Paris.
The match, which was postponed after the tragic passing of Anthony Foley last October, featured some lovely tributes to ‘Axel’ before kick-off.
As soon as the game started, Munster were all business.
It took them a while to break Racing’s resistance but, following a Tyler Bleyendaal penalty and a converted Simon Zebo try, they put the boot down.
Fancy footwork or fighting all the way, @SimonZebo is Munster's record try scorer.

CJ Stander went close in the 28th minute but was held up short of the line. Munster stepped back, took a breath and charged again. This time, they would not be denied.
Stander received a pass on the left flank and had fellow back row Peter O’Mahony in support. He backed himself and O’Mahony was left with nothing to do but celebrate.

Amazing scenes.
Then, for good measure, Conor Murray teed up Andrew Conway for Munster’s third try of the day. Looking damned good.
