Munster were listless in the opening 30 minutes against Racing and the Parisians capitalised on the rare vulnerability in Munster’s defensive mindset. Unlikely, even if the game will appear like a home fixture for Munster given that they are guaranteed far more support at the Ricoh than their hosts. McCall only started about four of his first-choice team in that last- minute defeat to Bristol, with the Munster game in mind. Next Saturday’s game will tell us a lot. It marred what was a fantastic game, with Toulouse boosted further going into next weekend’s game by beating the current league leaders 47-44.
