Schmidt relieved to survive Heineken Cup test

Leinster head coach Joe Schmidt was a relieved man after watching his side survive a late Clermont Auvergne barrage to win 19-15 and reach their third Heineken Cup final in four years.

The defending champions set up an all-Irish final against Ulster at Twickenham on May 19, but only after Wesley Fofana had a try ruled out for Clermont in the final minutes.
