Kick is good from the England out-half and Sale take an early lead!

Penalty Sale right in front of the posts after Munster collapsing the scrum. Cipriani goes for posts.

Sale seeing most of the early possession, a chance comes as Johnny Leota picks out a lovely line but the attack comes to nothing.

Munster fans in fine voice as Fields of Athenry rings out at the AJ Bell stadium.

Good start from Sale as they attack from the line out, lovely weighted grubber kick from Mike Hayley into the corner gives Sale a good field position.

Munster get us underway!

Hello and welcome to this European Champions Cup game which sees Sale Sharks take on Munster. European rugby is back and both teams will be looking to get a first win in the new tournament. One of the many tough groups in this competition, it is imperative for both sides to claim a victory to advance to the quarter finals. Sale come into this game in a mixed run of form winning only 2 out of their last 6 games, while Munster come into the game on a good run of form and will look to continue the love story with this competition. Kick off is moments away so stay with us for live updates and coverage throughout.

These two clubs have met previously 4 times in the competition with Munster winning 3 and Sale winning 1. Munster's Conor Murray had the most try assists in the Heineken Cup in 2013/2014 (5).
