Munster Knocked Out After Shock Defeat to Castres
Munster lost 31-29 at Thomond Park due to missed conversions and discipline errors, ending their Champions Cup run and missing knockout stage for the first time since 2020.
- On Saturday, Munster were eliminated from the Champions Cup after a 31-29 defeat by Castres at Thomond Park, ending their pool-stage campaign.
- Discipline and defensive lapses, including Tom Farrell's yellow card, and persistent backchat penalty to referee Matt Carley, allowed Castres to score late winning tries after Munster surrendered 12-10 and 22-17 leads.
- Castres had struck early when Vuate Karawalevu scored from close range, and Geoffrey Palis's converted try in the 68th minute put Castres back in front.
- The loss means Munster will miss the Champions Cup knockout stage for the first time since 2020, while Castres will wait to see if they qualify for the Round of 16.
- Despite outscoring Castres five tries to four, Munster's missed place-kicks proved costly as Castres recorded their first win at Thomond Park in nine attempts.
