Shane Daly
What a try from Shane Daly!
Craig Casey gives it out to Daly and he produces two chip kicks, racing past two Stade Francais players before diving down on the line.
Jack Crowley nails the conversion with a fine kick.
Munster 7-0 Stade Francais
Alex Nannkivell receives a yellow card after a high tackle on Lucas Peyresblanques which leaves the Stade Francais player a bit dazed after he was caught in the face.
Big chance for the away side to get back in the game now with Munster a player down for the next 10 minutes.
Calvin Nash is back from his HIA, replacing Billy Burns.
Saracens 5-5 Bulls
And as if to demonstrate the strength of the wind - part two...
Elliot Daly goes for touch from the centre of the field and the wind carries his attempt about 10 yards behind where he kicked it from.
Saracens 5-5 Bulls
And as if to demonstrate the strength of the wind, a slightly overhit kick-off by the visitors flies out of play behind the dead ball line on first bounce.
Rhys Carre
Saracens make a sustained spell of pressure count with their first try, scored by prop Rhys Carre.
The forwards pick and go on several occasions and Carre finds a small gap to dot the ball down over the line.
Fergus Burke, after that earlier penalty miss, again can't find the mark and we're all square. The wind is really howling.
Saracens 0-5 Bulls
Oh my word!
Saracens have a penalty right in front of the posts from about 12 metres away - but Fergus Burke hits the post and it bounces clear!
He needed Nick Tompkins to hold the ball steady on the tee, so conditions can't be the easiest, but even so - he probably knocks that over 99 times out of 100.

Saracens venture into the Bulls' 22 for the first time, 15 minutes into this match.
They're setting up for an attacking scrum about 10 metres out - can the hosts find a quick response?
Thaakir Abrahams (con Jack Crowley)
Munster finally make the breakthrough courtesy of Thaakir Abrahams, who dots down after being found with a quick pass from Craig Casey.
It all came after a good line-out from Munster.
Jack Crowley adds the extras with a great kick in difficult conditions with the swirling wind.
Munster 0-0 Stade Francais
An early blow for Munster as Calvin Nash is off for a HIA, Billy Burns comes on in his place.
That forces a reshuffle as Jack Crowley moves to full-back and Burns takes up the out-half position.
Munster 0-0 Stade Francais
Calvin Nash picks up a great pass from Craig Casey and bursts away with a chipped kick, but he knocks the ball on just before the line and a goal-line drop-out is awarded to Stade Francais.
Sebastian de Klerk
That's been coming and the opening try is created by a stunning pass out wide by Willie le Roux to winger Sebastian de Klerk, who dives in at the corner.
The conversion is missed.
Saracens 0-0 Bulls
Saracens haven't seen much of Bulls' territory early on and they're not being helped by being against the wind in this first half.
As Bulls break and Devon Williams is tackled into touch, a lot of pushing and shoving develops between the two sets of players.
A few boos from the home fans as the penalty goes Bulls' way and they have a line-out in sight of the try line.
Munster 0-0 Stade Francais
A strong start from Munster and they go close to getting over the whitewash on the left-hand side, but Thaakir Abrahams is held up.
They recycle the ball and go through the phases before Shane Daly on his 100th cap, is unable to get a pass off that would have released Abrahams but it rolls out of play.
Saracens 0-0 Bulls
Bulls go through the phases but Saracens hold firm. Eventually the visitors try something a little fancy on the right wing but the ball runs loose and out of play.
Saracens 0-0 Bulls
