Castres came out on top at fortress Stade Pierre-Fabre on Friday evening as Munster lost Round 2 of the Investec Champions Cup by just two points.
Several penalties were given away by Munster in the first half, which ultimately led to two unconverted Castres tries. John Hodnett managed to get over from the back of the maul before the half time whistle, which Jack Crowley converted.
There were two yellow cards for Castres in the second half to add to Quentin Walcker’s from the first forty, as well as six points from the tee. Hodnett’s second try and conversion by Crowley put Munster within touching distance of winning, but Castres’ second penalty left the final score at 16-14.
