Munster End Campaign on a High

Munster gave the Thomond Park faithful their money's worth, rounding off their Champions Cup pool 1 campaign with a thumping 65-10 win over Sale. 

Anthony Foley's side ran in 8 tries, and racked up 52 unanswered second half points.

Meanwhile, the quarter final line-up has been completed. 

After Toulouse lost by a point away to Montpellier, Leinster's home quarter final will be against Pool 4 winners Bath. 

Clermont finished their pool 1 with a 18-6 defeat of Saracens, and will Northampton in the last 8. 

Top seeds Racing Metro will play host to Saracens

And reigning European champions Toulon will face Wasps. 

Those matches will be played the weekend of the 3rd, 4th and 5th of April. 

If Leinster beat Bath, they'll have to travel to France or England to face the winners of that Toulon/Wasps tie. 

The winners of Clermont-Northampton will take on either Racing or Saracens in the semis. 

 

Meanwhile, Connacht must travel to Kingsholm for their Challenge Cup quarter final with Gloucester – should they win that they'll welcome either Exeter or Newcastle to the Sportsgrounds. 

In the other half of the draw, London Irish will play Edinburgh, with the winners gaining home advantage for a semi final with either the Dragons or Cardiff Blues.
