Yachvili: We beat a great side

SCRUM-HALF Dimitri Yachvili may have taken a pop at Munster for not moving on after their first Heineken Cup success in 2006, but the Biarritz match-winner was also gracious enough to pay them tribute after yesterday’s game.

“We are delighted to have beaten what I would regard as a great team,” he said. “We respect this particular team a lot and that is why we felt we had to give so much to this game; we didn’t play well in the French Championship this season and we wanted to show to everyone that we are a good side.

“I believe we did that against a very good Munster side today,” said Yachvili after his six penalty salvo put Biarritz on the road to Paris.
