Numbers game

75: litres drunk by the starting Munster XV between Thursday and the start of last Saturday's European Cup match against Colomiers in Toulouse.

3: the number of the position that Munster's Marcus Horan finished up playing at the weekend. He moved across to tight-head after Munster lost first John Hayes and then his replacement Ian Murray through injury during the Colomiers match. Keith Wood displayed his versatility by moving to loosehead and Frankie Sheahan came on at hooker. Interestingly, the scrums were contested and the Munster trio displayed their mettle by not budging.

5: the number of backs 21-years-old and under in the combined three quarter-lines of the Leinster and Munster teams.

10: tries scored by Munster so far in the European Cup. They have managed a staggering eight tries in their two away victories, four per game, against Saracens and Colomiers.

8: the number of competitive matches that Connacht lost this season before recording their first victory over the weekend against Toulouse.

100: French francs, the price of admission to the Stade Francais-Leinster game.
