There are high hopes of further uptake in tickets in the coming days as Munster look to make a fast start to their Champions Cup campaign. A crowd of 36,208 attended last season’s game against Gloucester in Cork.
Meanwhile, Munster have welcomed Ireland international Edwin Edogbo and Australian playmaker Will Harrison back into on-pitch training as they near their returns from injury.
Second row Edogbo hasn’t featured yet this season due to a shoulder issue, while new signing Harrison hasn’t been able to make his debut because of a knee injury.
Out-half/fullback Harrison joined from the Kintetsu Liners during the summer and Munster are excited to get the left-footed playmaker up and running.
It’s unclear whether they will be in the mix for the Racing game, but having Edogbo and Harrison back soon will be a big boost for Munster.
Locks Tom Ahern [neck spasm] and Fineen Wycherley [shoulder] have not been ruled out for the Racing game and will be assessed as the week goes on.
Loosehead prop Michael Milne [ankle], hooker Diarmuid Barron [neck], and fullback/wing Shane Daly [hamstring] are “progressing well,” according to Munster.
