Munster face Cheetahs ahead of big Racing 92 clash

MUNSTER are in Bloemfontein this Friday night for their big Guinness Pro14 clash with the Toyota Cheetahs, 6.35pm Irish time.

The game will be Munster's final fixture before Sunday week's mammoth Champions Cup semi-final showdown with Racing 92 in Bordeaux.

Second-placed Munster enjoy a six-point lead over the third-placed Toyota Cheetahs ahead of the sides’ clash on Friday night at Toyota Stadium, Bloemfontein which will be televised live on Sky Sports.

Limerick prop Dave Kilcoyne was awarded Man of the Match in that high scoring game on his 150th appearance for the province. Limerick centre Dan Goggin scored his first Pro14 try for Munster in the game.
