Munster will have to wait another week to book their place in the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup.

After a back-and-forth encounter with Racing 92, it was the French side that eventually came out on top in a thrilling encounter, winning 34-30.

After tries from Jean Kleyn, Keith Earls and Chris Farrell, the Reds looked to be in pole position for the win when a huge Conor Murray penalty put them 2 points ahead with 5 minutes to go.

But two late penalties for the hosts gave them the win by 4 points, but crucially for Munster they were unable to get a try bonus point.

That means Munster host Castres next week knowing that a win of any kind is enough to send them through to the last eight.
