Match Commentary
Andreu is back on.
But it misfires again, before Thomas dots down to give the Irish province a five-metre scrum.
Munster take it quickly and think they have scored but Doyle has other ideas.
That is it for the first half. Racing deservedly lead, they have been better in every department while Munster look devoid of ideas in attack and defence. Is there any way back for the Irishmen?
The ball is lost in midfield as they look to put width on the ball but just as Marc Andreu's eyes light up, Doyle blows his whistle for an earlier penalty.
But the Irish province have won a scrum penalty there, and will have an attacking lineout.
Keatley misses touch with the penalty, though, handing momentum straight back to the French side.
Munster's Simon Zebo, who will join the Parisians in the summer, is only fit enough for a place on the bench.
Munster will be determined to set up an all-Ireland final, but there is no shortage of motivation for the side with home country advantage in Bordeaux either. Racing want to make amends for their losing appearance in the 2016 final while creating a piece of history for the club in the process.
