Stade Rochelais are home to Munster in this European Rugby Champions Cup Last 16 match. Can The Seaborn Men beat Munster and reach another quarter-final? Here's our match prediction.
Last year saw the French club beaten at this stage. That ended their hopes of winning the European Rugby Champions Cup for the third year in a row. This year, they finished second in Pool 2, seven points behind Leinster.
They won two of their four pool matches, winning one at home but losing narrowly to Leinster by two points. Stade Rochelais are currently only tenth in Top 14, four points behind the play-offs.
While seven of their ten home league games have been won, nine out of ten have been lost on the road. Their head coach is Ronan O'Gara who used to be in charge at Munster. They are struggling for form though with no wins in their last eight games.
Munster are fifth in the United Rugby Championship. They finished third in their European Rugby Champions Cup pool and lost both of their away games. They welcome back some key players for this match.
The winners of this match will face either Bordeaux (who are the top seeds) or Ulster in the quarter-finals and we tip Munster to win on a +8.5 points handicap.
