Munster boss Anthony Foley has called on his side to put their “bodies on the line” as they bid to extend their interest in this season’s Champions Cup.
The two-time European champions face Stade Francais on Saturday (4.45pm, live on RTÉ Radio 1) in a match rescheduled after the terror attacks in Paris last November.
With just one win in three Pool 4 games to date, anything less than victory in Paris would spell the end of Munster’s hopes of progression to the knock-out stages.
Foley told RTÉ Sport: “You’ve got to put your bodies on the line for this one. It’s a game where, you do the maths of it – we need to win.
“Getting zero points from the two Leicester games has put us in a tough spot but it’s within ourselves to get out of there, but it has to come out of us.”
Munster: Andrew Conway; Keith Earls, Francis Saili, Rory Scannell, Simon Zebo; Ian Keatley, Conor Murray; Dave Kilcoyne, Mike Sherry, BJ Botha; Dave Foley, Mark Chisholm; Robin Copeland, Tommy O'Donnell, CJ Stander capt.
Replacements: Niall Scannell, John Ryan, Mario Sagario, Billy Holland, Jack O'Donoghue, Tomás O'Leary, Denis Hurley, Ronan O'Mahony.
