Preview

Clashes between Munster and Castres are always feisty with Saturday’s night’s game at Thomond Park set to be another cracker.

Munster go into the game after a bonus-point win away to Wasps and while a number of players are again available having completed their quarantine periods, a large group of players remain unavailable.

Castres for their part were camped on the Harlequins line in the final moments of their clash last week but were unable to cross for the match-winning try as Quins secured a narrow victory.

That result means Castres will be desperate to earn their first-ever victory at Thomond Park on Saturday night against a Munster side eager to back up last week’s performance in Coventry.
