Munster’s Heineken Champions Cup dream is all but over.
They were beaten 39 points to 22 in Paris by Racing 92 yesterday.
Andrew Conway went over the line in the first-half with JJ Hanrahan sending the conversion through the posts as well as five penalties but it wasn’t enough.
Although not mathematically impossible Johann van Graan’s side would need a number of other results to go their way to reach the last eight.
We can still qualify for the #HeinekenChampionsCup quarter-finals going into the final round of Pool fixtures.
We need to beat Ospreys at @ThomondStadium next Sunday and hope results elsewhere go our way.

Leinster’s 100% start to the season remains intact meanwhile.
They beat Lyon 42-14 in their European Champions Cup clash at the RDS earlier on.
The Blues were already through to the quarter-finals prior to this game and they’ll be at home for that match.
Head coach Leo Cullen said it was great to get the win against a tough side.
"We got the job done." 👊
