Heineken Cup: Munster coach hails Irish heroes

Munster coach Declan Kidney claimed his team earned their 16-14 Heineken Cup quarter-final win over Stade Francais with a magnificent first-half performance in Paris this afternoon.

Playing with the wind, the 2000 runners-up avenged their semi-final defeat by Stade in last year’s competition by taking a 16-3 interval lead.
