Racing’s Antonie Claassen claims Munster can go all the way

Everyone with a link to Munster seems to be shying away from talk of a possible third European title but Antonie Claassen believes they are capable of at least pushing close to Champions Cup success this season.

It’s easy to see why. As Racing’s No.8, Claassen had the ill fortune of fronting up to CJ Stander and a superb Munster back row during the Irish province’s 25-point win in Colombes on Saturday evening.

The impression left was considerable.
