Munster are in a different class right now.

The southern province are currently leading 18-0 as we approach half-time in their rescheduled Champions Cup clash with French giants Racing 92. Rassie Erasmus’ men have been nothing short of flawless so far and are on course for a comfortable win if they can keep it up.

Simon Zebo grabbed Munster’s first try after several phases of domination from the pack. The try means Zebo is the first Munster player in history to reach 50 career tries for the province, an wonderful milestone for the Corkman.

CJ Stander has once again been in monstrous form, first of all almost crashing over the line thanks to a huge carry, sitting a defender down on his arse in the process. Moments later, Stander got another chance and made sure for Munster’s second try.

Racing made a mistake, Munster reacted through some quick recycling by Conor Murray, and Stander did the rest. What a talent. To top it all off Andrew Conway has just grabbed another try for Munster as we write this.

Bleyendaal converts, Munster now lead 25-0 at half-time.
