It was a big weekend for Irish rugby with Munster and Leinster chasing places in the Champions Cup Final...

27-22 but only ever 1 winner. Racing were v good at times but Munster made them look better by underperforming. Fantastic to see Teddy Thomas play so naturally. A special kid with a big heart.D Ryan massive work rate. Chavancy chopped everything. Strange game.
Michael McCarthy @McCarthyMick Munster drop Zebo and Racing right winger gets hat trick in 20 mins. Bonehead stuff Dan Carter @DanCarter
Proud of my @racing92 brothers as we are on our way to Bilbao for the @ChampionsCup final. An amazing day but a shout out to the Munster fans who have to be some of the best supporters in the world!
Shane Stapleton @ShaneSaint The father is after saying: “Munster will be gone back to intermediate next year. They’re getting ate alive today.” Gavan Casey @GavanCasey
People will point to South Africa, the temperature today, and all sorts of external factors. Reality is Munster are still a mile off European contention, and they’re not producing a high enough calibre of player within the province. This team has done well to paper over cracks.

The irony is Racing are pretty poor. Munster have had enough ball to win the game. Racing have done nothing in the 2 nd half.If Munster took the pen kicks in the first half and after half time they would be in the hunt.

King Rog, Munster were as bad as I have seen in a knock out stage - such a shame... Racing were good.. but all too easy for them .... @DanCarter
Simon Zebo @SimonZebo Heartbroken to put it lightly.. But I love this club and our supporters Keep the faith Brendan Fuller @RKbrendanfuller Gutted with the match today but as always so proud of Munster. Racing were monstrous in defense and we couldn’t get it
going but we still managed to fight til the last whistle. Special mention to a former nemesis on the field @JjHanrahan who gave a great injection for us #R92vMUN
Mike O’Halloran @StageandSport Brilliant defence by Racing Munster making basic errors and once again their 10 goes missing on the big day #MunvR92 The Loose Head @TheLooseH Simon Zebo and Teddy Thomas together next season. There’s going to be a huge number of highlight clips.
