Racing need Munster magic, says O’Gara

Ronan O’Gara says Racing Metro will have to take a leaf out of Munster’s book if they are to rescue their faltering hopes of reaching the Heineken Cup quarter-finals for the first time after being hammered 32-8 by Harlequins at the weekend.

It was a ‘home’ match for Racing even though it was moved almost 400km away to Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, but their hopes of making the last eight took a massive blow.

And having only drawn with Scarlets in an earlier round and a trip to Clermont Auvergne looming in January, the big-spending Paris side have to win against Conor O’Shea’s men at The Stoop next Saturday.
