Munster 22-10 Racing 92: Stander stars as Muncster secure home quarter-final
Munster clinched a home quarter-final in the Champions Cup after defeating last season's finalists Racing 92 22-10 at Thomond Park.
The game was scoreless until the 36th minute when Ireland international Simon Zebo dived over to give Munster a deserved lead.
Fly-half Tyler Bleyendaal then landed the conversion to give the hosts a 7-0 lead with the break in sight.
But Racing managed to get onto the scoreboard before then with Maxime Machenaud nailing a penalty as the whistle went for half-time.
After the restart, Munster opened up a 14-point gap with a Bleyendaal penalty and Ronan O'Mahony's converted try.
Henry Chavancy's converted try gave Racing hope before Ian Keatley touched down to seal the win.
