That's all from us this evening, thanks for joining our coverage.

You can read Mike Henson's full match report here.

If tonight has whet the appetite, don't worry, join us again on Saturday for a full schedule of Champions Cup rugby...

Speaking to Premier Sports, Sale Sharks hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie said: "It was tough and physical like we thought it would be, my body is a bit battered now but we have two days off which is good.

Sale centre Robert du Preez added: "That was very tiring but good to come out with five points, which is massive. It's pretty special playing with my brothers but seeing them every day is the special bit and what we will miss whenever we move on."

Speaking to Premier Sports, Sale Sharks captain Ben Curry said: "That loss last week wasn't us so the messaging all week was about returning home and doing what we do best and that was more like us.

"It is nice winning at home but we have Exeter here next week and then Bristol away so we want to keep improving and we know we need to be winning away if we want the big trophies.

"It's about backing it up now."

Robert du Preez thinks he's over for a final flourish but the try is chalked off for a knock-on in the build-up.

It means it's all over in Salford.

Sale Sharks have bagged all five points on offer. Racing leave emptyhanded.

Sadly, the way this game ends has just about summed up Munster's night. They have a penalty on halfway right in the centre of the pitch and Jack Crowley tries to get every inch out of the kick to touch.

However, an acrobatic take by Geoffrey Palis keeps it in play and, with the clock in the red, he boots it out to scenes of joy from the hosts. Munster do get a losing bonus point as Jeremy Davidson's men stay unbeaten at home but Mike Prendergast will know they left points out there.

Ben Curry is named man of the match for his stellar all-round display and you can't argue with that.

Two minutes left. Can Munster do it?

Give us a thumbs up if you think they can!

Wallop.

A former England wing tries to run over a current one but Tom Roebuck puts in a thumping hit on Henry Arundell.

That will do his chances of being picked for the Six Nations no harm at all.

Replacement Jack O'Donoghue thought he was in the corner for a try but the final pass from Mike Haley is forward. Agonising for Munster!

There has been a bit of needle throughout and we've got time for a bit more before the end of the night.

Raffi Quirke follows in on his opposite number Clovis le Bail and the two parties have a bit of a tussle.

It doesn't escalate into anything more but the crowd certainly enjoyed it.

A third Castres kicker takes the tee and it is out half Louis le Brun who splits the uprights with a penalty after Munster were penalised at the scrum.

The visitors' lead has not lasted long but there is still time on the clock.

Ben Curry has been thumping Racing players all night but he shows a touch of flair as he grubbers the ball through for the onrushing Tom Roebuck to chase.

Sale old boy Sam James is back to clean up but that was nearly try number five.

It's a tough night at the office for Racing 92.

But, from a Sale point of view, an English point of view, there weren't too many wins on the opening weekend for the Premiership sides.

This is much more like it for Sale after they were well-beaten by Glasgow, who are maybe one of the dark horses.

Has John Hodnett gone over again?! On-field decision is 'try' as we go upstairs!

Sale have the penalty but they point to the sticks for a shot at goal.

Robert du Preez makes no mistake and the hosts put a bit more distance between themselves and their visitors.

A third yellow for Castres as replacement prop Nicolas Corato - barely on the pitch two minutes - is penalised for repeated breakdown penalties close to the line.

The cheers from the Sale faithful tell you their side are on top.

Max Spring's attempted clearance doesn't travel very far and the hosts can launch another attack from the line-out.

Something that may let Munster off the hook this evening is Castres' errant kicking. Full back Julien Dumora has taken over place kicking duties after Jeremy Fernandez's exit but he shanks a penalty wide from straight in front.

That is now seven points the hosts have left out there.
