Munster fans ready for Massif fight

THE Munster rugby battlecry of Stand Up and Fight will ring out with renewed vigour in central France this weekend as the province faces a vital Heineken European Cup clash against ASM Clermont Auvergne.

More than 2,500 fans are expected to make the long journey to the heart of the Massif Central for the nail-biting penultimate round in the proverbial “group of death”.

Munster and Clermont, as well as Wasps, remain in contention for advancing to the quarter-finals in one of the tightest and strongest groups in the 13-year history of the competition.
