Preview

Munster travel to Paris on Sunday for a Champions Cup Pool 4 clash with Racing 92 leading the way with three wins in their opening four Pool games.

Munster are the only side to have denied Racing victory in the Champions Cup so far this season with the teams playing out a 21-all draw at Thomond Park.

If Racing beat Munster they will book their place in the quarter-finals as Pool 4 winners

The French side go into the game having lost just one of their last 13 pool games (W11, D1) and beat Clermont Auvergne 27-19 last time out in the Top 14.

Racing have made the most metres (2,048), breaks (65), offloads (45) and beaten the most defenders (130) this season.

Munster have missed just 64 tackles, fewer than any other side, and as a result have the best tackle success rate in the competition (90%).

Only Ulster (1) have conceded fewer first half tries than Munster (2), but Racing have scored more (12) than any other side in this period.

Munster’s CJ Stander has made the most carries (80) and joint-second most tackles (66).

Elsewhere in the Pool this weekend, Saracens defeated Ospreys in Swansea.
