McNamara's Bordeaux side have short turn-around to prepare for Munster challenge 

“We spoke about it during the week, we spoke about it again this morning, how much this competition means to Irish teams and how difficult they are to beat, so I think that was very much in evidence today."

Bordeaux attack coach Noel McNamara has warned his side of the challenge they will face from Munster next Saturday as the French title-chasers and Champions Cup top seeds prepare to welcome an Irish province to Stade Chaban-Delmas for the second weekend in a row.

Former Ireland U20 head coach and Clareman McNamara saw Bordeaux-Begles outgun a game and resilient Ulster side by six tries to five on Sunday, their 43-31 Round of 16 victory setting up a last-eight clash with Munster, who were 25-24 victors at La Rochelle on Saturday.
