POOL 1 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CUP 16-1-16

RACING 34-LEICESTER

ANDREU TRIES SHOW RACING COULD COMPETE

Racing, the 2016 runners-up, had been winless in this year's campaign but led through tries from Xavier Chauveau, Marc Andreu and Gerbrandt Grobler.
A penalty try and Andreu's second after the break, along with nine points from the boot of Dan Carter, consigned the Tigers to a fourth consecutive defeat.


This was a match that to most people was null and void as Leicester were expected to win to go into the last match with a sense of hope now  this bad result puts Leicester out but we can not ignore the quality that Racing have as this showed what they could do when there is no pressure on them

GLASGOW 12-14 MUNSTER

SAILI PUTS MUNSTER IN QUARTERS

The hosts led 12-9 in a tourniquet-tight match with four penalties - three from Finn Russell, one from Stuart Hogg - to three from Tyler Bleyendaal.
But Hogg's yellow card, for a high tackle in stopping Andrew Conway from scoring, saw Munster capitalise.
Francis Saili powered over in the corner to book a last-eight spot.


                Munster in this match showed why they are a team to watch out for in this seasons Champions Cup as they won a very close match against Scottish side Glasgow and they showed that when push came to shove they could get themselves over the line
