6,000 Munster rugby fans to descend on Marseilles

Considered the best travelling rugby supporters in Europe, Munster’s Red Army is on the move again, with as many as 6,000 expected to descend on the Mediterranean city of Marseilles in the coming days.

Twice European champions Munster will play Toulon in the Stade Vélodrome in the port city on Sunday at 3.30pm.

The sides’ last encounter was in round 5 of the 2010/11 season in nearby Toulon. The home side were victors on the day, beating Munster 32-16.
