Ian Keatley has been charged with helping lift Munster into the quarter finals of the Heineken Cup after his expected elevation to the team that meets Racing Metro at Thomond Park tomorrow (12.45pm).

CONNACHT are on course for a seventh European quarter-final after consolidating their leadership of Pool Two with a well-deserved victory over Montpellier at the Galway Sportsground last evening.

CONNACHT’S European qualification credentials receive their first real test this evening in France when they face Montpellier at Stade Yves du Manoir (7pm).
