LISTEN: Jean Kleyn aiming to come away from Clermont “with a win”

Munster travel to the Stade Marcel Michelin this Saturday to face Clermont Auvergne, hoping for a first ever European win at the stadium.

Munster opened up their campaign with a win over Hharlequins last Sunday and Kleyn is hopig to continue in that vein.

In a truncated format, the importance of this game is not lost on the Lock as Munster look to maintain their blistering start to the season.

“They have an 80% win rate at home over the last few years so that’s tough going. Travelling to France is always a tough job but fortunately it won’t be a full stadium. But Clermont away is a colossal clash. But we are building a game plan, we will go out their and try to implement it and hopefully come away with a win.”

Munster play Clermont Auvergne in the Champions Cup Pool Stages this Saturday at 5.30pm in the Stade Marcel Michelin.
