While it did not seal victory it was enough to guarantee the vital losing bonus point that, despite two late Machenaud penalties giving Racing the win, keeps Munster in the driving seat for the quarter-finals. Penalties conceded: Racing 11 Munster 11Injuries: No apparent injuries for Munster although captain Peter O'Mahony did not look entirely comfortable throughout and was replaced on 55 minutes. Lock Jean Kleyn reached out in the first half to score the first of Munster's three tries, with Keatley adding the conversion, but another Machenaud penalty made it 13-7 at the break. Machenaud levelled matters with another penalty when Stephen Archer was penalised for popping out of a scrum on 54 minutes. But from the restart their former second-rower Donnacha Ryan grabbed the ball and earned his side a penalty.
