Munster look for a miracle to escape January blues

The permutations may be complicated but with their European destiny now out of their control, Munster’s mission is clear and simple.

Nothing but a bonus-point victory over Ospreys at Thomond Park tomorrow will give Johann van Graan’s side a chance of progressing out of Heineken Champions Cup Pool 4 and into the quarter-finals and even that may not be good enough if results in other pools today fail to go their way.
