Munster are through to the Heineken Cup semi finals, following a highly impressive performance in their quarter final tie against Toulouse at Thomond Park this afternoon.

Rob Penney’s side beat the four-time champions 47-23, scoring 6 tries in the process.

Keith Earls went over for Munster's only first half try, which helped them to a 13-9 lead at half time.

The relative closeness at half-time didn’t last long, however, and five second half tries, from Dave Kilcoyne, CJ Stander, Casey Laulala, Simon Zebo and Paul O'Connell, sealed the win for the home side.

Munster will now face Leinster in the semi final at the Aviva Stadium, if Leinster can overcome Champions Toulon in France tomorrow.
