They play their final Pool against Heriots in Musgrave Park on Friday March 12th where a draw or a win will see them qualify for the knock out-stages.

Munster are only one of four sides in the competition who remain unbeaten. They looked in serious trouble at half time on Saturday when they trailed 12-0 thanks to four penalties from former Welsh international Arwell Thomas.

However, whatever Anthony Foley and Ian Costello had to say during the half-time 'chat' found receptive ears and that plus the introduction of Billy Holland had the desired effect.

Declan Cusack kicked two penalties and then added the conversion to captain Peter O'Mahony's try for Munster to edge ahead. Tom Gleeson scored Munster's second try and although Cusack missed that conversion he made amends with his third penalty just before the end.
