Castres to win.

This game just became absolutely huge for both clubs as Scarlets claimed a shock win at Northampton. Its fair to say the English side are now in real danger of not making it out of the section but as everyone knows they are still a top side that will be tough to beat. With the Welsh now sitting with 2 wins- having beaten Castres last week-- this group is wide open and sure to go right down to the wire.

Munster have been on decent form not great form but as well know they do seem to save their best for the matches that really matter. They love to go away with home to tough physical venues and scrap for that vital win. Over the last few seasons they have probably been the best side in europe at doing just that. But this is tough ask against a quality French side that has improved greatly in the last couple of seasons.

The French are big and powerful in the forwards, set plays are excellent too. Their kicking game is also one of the best in the top 14 and they have beaten some of the top sides already this year. Having lost in Wales this side badly needs a result.

Its going to be a close one of that there is no doubt and i dont see many scores either. But i just think even money at home for a top 14 side to win a match they really have to is too good to turn down. Ofcourse Munster are still a class side but they dont go into this one on the greatest form and are missing a couple of their best players. I fancy the big French forwards to drive their side to victory but it could well be by only a penalty score.

Castres to win at evens with ladbrokes.
