Munster welcome the return of a few key players, but Castres will be a much tougher challenge. With a six-day turnaround and a trip to France to contend with, you’d have to think the French side might just edge this one.

As for Connacht, Perpignan appear to have their focus firmly on the Top 14 rather than the Challenge Cup. With a small crowd expected and plenty of their starters rested, Connacht should capitalise and secure a bonus-point win. A 15-point victory seems on the cards.
Made hard work of it, early injuries didn't help, but it's an experienced side (3,9 & 14 aside). Result that should have been expected given USAP running some espoirs.
We've been sucked into believing our own hype after these wins, then finding out when comp gets serious after pools. #USAPvCON

Having witnessed what Bordeaux did to Connacht last season, it’s hard not to fear a similar fate for Ulster this weekend. Facing a strong side, they could struggle and may well lose by double digits.

In the very best of days, it would have been an away win.
BP tonight would be ok
