Stade, last year's T14 champs, are flirting with the relegation zone at the moment. A decent comeback against Toulouse secured a much needed win at the weekend. I cant see them caring much about Europe, just wanting a chance to defend their crown, which means a top 6 finish.
I suspect Stade will field a weakened team and Munster, buoyed after their stuffy win away at Ulster, will fancy their chances if they can be bothered to send a strong team.

If Munster could beat Stade that would be useful. Would pretty much end their interest in Europe and hopefully allow Tigers an easier trip to Paris.

I do hope Munster win but I think they are in some poor form even if they did manage a win against Ulster.

Owens got that absolutely right, Josaia Raisuqe had his fingers in Standers eyes. Stupid thing o do and a deserved red card.

Not a great game with Munster also loosing TOD but Stade are worth their 10 point lead although Keatley missed two kicks that he should be making. The 2nd half will be interesting now.

Jesus Munster are being mullered by 14 men here, the scrum is being obliterated.

Scrums and Nigel O'wens don't mix. He is awful.

Stade have turned up Marshes but Munster are truly terrible and Keatley is again having one of those games again...

That was serious dangerous foul play from Chisholm on Sempere and yet nothing from Mr Owens. I know he does not like the French but Nigel should be a bit more respectful on time to time...

Yep it was always going to be tough but Stade seem really up for it. Feel bad for Keatley, finding it tough to get out of the slump.

I don't believe its a slump for Keatley, its the way he is. He has some good moments/games but he is generally a poor player.

Wonderful try from Stade clap

That's the end of Munster in Europe.

I mean he has definitely dropped off of even inconsistently good/bad from previous seasons, now he is a liability.

Two well worked tries but to be fair the defence for both has been very poor.

Its been an awful performance from Munster but credit to Stade, this is some performance.

Munster have gone the same way as Glasgow in the second half, both just feel off completely. Munster against 14 men!

If Foley isn't sacked in the morning the whole IRFU board needs to go. The provinces have been managed disgracefully the last few seasons.

Loosing Botha, Conway and TOD in the first 25 minutes didn't help Munster but that was a bad performance. Munster desperately need a consistent 10 to go further. Its not all Foley's fault and I would not sack him just yet...

There was nothing in that as the player wasn't lifted, just an unlucky accident.

Feel sad for Munster rugby as an European cup without a Munster team competitive is a bit like cheese without wine to me. Since their defeat at home to Clermont they seem to have gone really downhill. Hope they sort it out.

Complete and utter rubbish from a second rate team. Needs a root and branch review of the organisation and the management/coaching team. Get rid of the second rate Leinster blow ins (now its clear why Copeland didn't make it). Get JJ Hanrahan back and give people like Rory Scannall and others in the academy a chance to develop. Get rid of Foley, Keatley et al. Loath though I am to say it get Bradley in for the remainder of the season and try to get some proper structures in place.

Fair point and BOD at the Arms Park was also a rare sighting btw.

Even though i'm a Cardiff supporter, I would've loved to have seen more of BOD in his prime ripping us to shreds. Saw him at CAP once I think.

Aye well according to him he has been playing with pain since 09 so he did have to be carefully managed. But the season does need a complete overhaul so we can see full teams being fielded more often.
