Munster Rugby host Racing 92 at Thomond Park on Saturday night in what looks like a cracking renewal of the 2018 Heineken Champions Cup semi-final, with live coverage from BT Sport, beIN SPORTS and FR2. Racing 92 came out on top in that clash in 2018 and defeated Saracens 30-10 in their season opener last week while Munster Rugby picked up all five points in a 32-13 win over Ospreys. Key quotes Johann van Graan (Munster): "They were phenomenal in Europe over the past few seasons. The first game that I watched from Munster just before I started was Racing versus Munster at Thomond Park. And after 60 minutes, the score was still zero all - an incredible game of rugby. That was my first live European experience at Thomond Park, and I know there are a few Irish men in the Racing team, so that will add a bit. [A] phenomenal team, they knocked us out in the semi-final two seasons ago. They’ve got world-class players all over the pitch, very good coaching staff and a proud history in this competition." Laurent Travers (Racing 92): "I’ve played there quite a few times and when you set foot inside the stadium, you realise that for them it’s like a religion. Sundays are either going to mass or to watch Munster and that’s a key feature of Thomond Park. As for us, we’ll be ready and I think that the players will be keen to deliver and make sure that the White and Sky Blues will be well represented at Thomond Park in that game." https://twitter.com/ChampionsCup/status/1196518941369221127 Key facts
