Munster fuelled for Paris trip by good results

Munster headed for Paris yesterday eager to move their Champions Cup ambitions forward and yet accompanied by the understandable impulse to revert back to October when they lost their colleague and friend Anthony Foley.

Coaches and players have already spoken this week of the need to find the right emotional balance for this afternoon’s delayed Champions Cup game at Stade Yves-du-Manoir, but such things are easier spoken about than achieved.

Rassie Erasmus and all at Munster at least know that such equilibrium is not beyond them.
