Renaud defiant as Montauban stun Sharks

MONTAUBAN captain Marc Renaud has thrown down the gauntlet to Heineken Cup champions Munster ahead of their final round game at Stade de Sapiac next month.

The French outfit, who impressed in their 19-17 defeat at Thomond Park, sensationally defeated Sale Sharks at home on Saturday for their first victory of their debut season in the competition.

Though rooted to the bottom of the pool, and out of the race for the knockout stages, Renaud warned Tony McGahan’s side against expecting a rollover in January. He said: “We are adamant that we do not want to finish bottom of this pool.
