Munster face back-to-back games against Saracens as Champions Cup fixtures released

The importance of Munster getting a good start to their Champions Cup campaign was underlined by the release of the pool fixtures this morning.

They will kick off with a trip to Swansea to face the Ospreys on Saturday, November 16, followed by the visit of Racing 92 to Limerick seven days later. The latter game may well see former Munster stars Donnacha Ryan and Simon Zebo make their playing returns to Thomond Park.
