Considering how vital this game is for both Leinster and Munster I think it deserves its own match thread.

Great crowed at it.

A little classless showing him on the stretcher down the tunnel.

Racing try!

For Paws

Stade de la Beaujoire is the venue. Normally NANTES FC home ground.

Try for Racing !

A Racing win here would throw all the permutations up in air.

Alain Rolland reffing (former Leinster player)

Name only other current HC ref who also played HC ?

So, what result are Leinster and Munster looking here?

Racin 2nd try

Ashton not bothered

decisions

A racing bonus is bad for us, yes?

For Paws

Ashton kicks ?

Surely a first for him !!

2ND TRY for Racing !!

Guess Ashton won't be kicking again !!

We don't want Racing to get a BP is that correct?

blow it up ref

Higher

Yes can someone respond whether Racing get a BP will be a very bad thing for Leinster?

Saracens are mud

3rd try for Racing, Imhoff again.

Higher

Because Racing are definitely going to get the bonus..............

A racing bp win will leave them on 17, provided munster beat them it shouldn't be a problem.

3 tries now, looks like we'll have the tbp for racing

awec

3rd Racing try.

They're getting a BP here, no bother.

If Racing get BP they go to 17 points - max 22 (would win group)

So long as Sarries don't get an LBP they stay on 14. (max 19).

Munster currently on 11 ( max 21)

However Munster and Racing can't both get those scores. IF Munster get BP in today the potential finish could be (giving BPs everywhere - worst case scenario)

Munster 21
Sarries 19
Racing 18

OR

Racing 22
Sarries 19
Munster 16

Two great tries from imhoff there.

Ah, so basically it doesn't matter as long as Sarries don't get LBP.

Because if Munster win next week it's fine, and if Racing win next week it's also fine?

So we should be hoping that Racing tear away with the game now??

Huh? Surely Racing were always expected to win this no?

Don't think it matters.

So long as Leinster get to the 20 points Racing's getting a TBP shouldn't have too bad an effect on them.

Bad news for Munster though, this means Racing have something worth winning for in Limerick though...

Yes think so.

A few silly penalties is keeping Saracens in touch. Hopefully Racing turn up next week. It'd be a serious test of Munster and a great advert for the Heineken Cup.

awec

Sarries down to 14

Sarries getting 2 Bps here could put a spanner into everyone's works

who_me

If Racing get a 4th try and win here, they could finish on up to 19 points even if they lose v Munster, that can't be good for Leinster.

The fact that they look very good today can't be good for Munster!

For Paws

Lucky for Sarries it wasn't a Red card - Thought he deliberately elbowed the guy.

Okay Racing, please plough on and get far ahead quickly.

They'll need to lose by 7 or less and score 4 or more tries for that to happen.

Stranger things could happen but you'd get fairly high odds on it I'd say.
