BARNEY SPENDER: ‘Don’t expect these guys just to roll over’

No one will blame Munster and their red army of supporters for thinking tomorrow’s match against Racing Metro is already won, the points safely stowed away.

After all, Munster are on their home turf, where no French team has ever sniffed victory in 20 attempts, and have everything to gain in the shape of a place in the last eight.

The Parisians, meanwhile, who have all but shrugged off speculation linking Jonny Sexton with a move to the French capital, have nothing to play for but professional pride.
