Marking Munster's major milestones ahead of 4,000-point landmark

On November 1, 1995, Richard Wallace touched down at Thomond Park to score Munster's first points in European Cup competition. This Saturday at the much-changed stadium, barring a complete disaster from Johann van Graan's new charges, someone from the province will pop up and grab the 4,000th. We recall some of the landmarks in between.

When Ian Keatley nailed the 70th-minute conversion of Andrew Conway’s try to seal Racing 92’s fate in the Champions Cup round two pool game on October 21, the fly-half sent the Munster points total for 22 seasons and two games in the continent’s premier club rugby competition to 3,994.

There have been some memorable scores on a European journey that has taken in two Heineken Cup wins and plenty of heartache besides. Many are etched in the memory of thousands, recalled for the pivotal moments they created, such as those final victories over Biarritz in 2006 and Toulouse a couple of seasons later.
