Racing 92 v Munster Meeting Points
10th January 2018 By Munster Rugby Supporters Club
Our MRSC members are returning to Paris this weekend in great numbers for the first visit of European Rugby to the U Arena.

The 32,000 capacity under roof & 4G surface within the new stadium will certainly provide a challenge for our team while as always within the Red Army we travel with confidence.
Racing 92 are in real positive form with the past results under the roof against Toulouse and Clermont aiding in their rise up the Top14 table to 3rd one point behind leaders Montpellier.
We in the MRSC will always remember the kindness shown to us during the pool games last year by our Racing peers. This culminated in large numbers of our members staying with Racing fans in their own houses with many Munster fans returning the favour for their return trip.
We have maintained & grown this relationship since – our own MRSC committee are invited to meet up with our peers in Racing 92 to celebrate the match weekend with them. We know that some of our members are renewing the stay over option with their Paris friends again this year.
It will be strange for us to see Donnacha Ryan line out against the Red jersey while I am sure that he will enjoy meeting up with some familiar faces again.
So for those lucky enough to be the 16th man this weekend within the U Arena – enjoy & stay safe.
One of the Racing Supporters has booked the basement room at the Frog & Underground, 176 rue Montmartre (about 120m from the Best Western hotel Rue Montmartre, an extension of Boulevard Haussman) from 7pm to 10pm and they will offer Munster supporters Happy Hour prices during that period, so beer at €;5 a pint or €;20 for a jug.
One of the Corcoran’s Bars is just around the corner from the Frog and Underground and is also offering Munster Supporters beer at €;6 a pint from 7pm to 10pm.
A message has been sent to the Racing supporters associations to tell them to come down to the Frog and Underground for 7pm, so a good chance to mingle with our friends from Racing.
