Munster will be massively confident when they host Saracens this afternoon in Thomond Park, despite their draw with Racing in the last round.
Saracens have opened the door for their rivals by travelling to Limerick without a host of their top stars – with Owen Farrell, George Kruis, Elliot Daly, Liam Williams, Billy and Mako Vunipola all left at home as Mark McCall focuses on recovering from the 35-point deduction slapped on the club in the Premiership.
JJ Hanrahan kicked the Reds level against Racing a fortnight ago at Thomond Park, only to miss a close-range drop-goal that would have completed a thrilling comeback.
