Schmidt: We got out of jail

Leinster head coach Joe Schmidt admitted his team were lucky to come out on the right side of a 9-6 score line in their opening Heineken Cup match of the season against the Exeter Chiefs at the RDS on Saturday.

Argentinean fly-half Ignacio Mieres could have salvaged a draw for the English outfit with the last kick of the game but his long range penalty effort drifted wide allowing Leinster to claim a fortuitous victory.
