McGahan pleased to end on a high

Munster gave themselves a fighting chance of qualifying for the Amlin Challenge Cup with a 28-14 victory over London Irish in their final Heineken Cup Pool Three clash, but coach Tony McGahan was just pleased to see his side restore some pride with the bonus-point success.

Damien Varley, Niall Ronan, Keith Earls and replacement Darragh Hurley all crossed for second-half tries as the two-time Heineken Cup champions eased the pain of last weekend’s defeat at Toulon, which condemned them to a pool-stage exit for the first time in 13 years.
