• Pool 2: Munster 9-7 Exeter
• Don Armand try not enough in epic
Saracens will again be the only English club in the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup after Exeter lost narrowly in a gruelling match at Thomond Park, a ground which is littered by the bones of English victims.
After some of the frolics earlier in the day, this was rugby in the raw. From the outset, it was an unremitting contest for possession in the air and on the ground. The counter-rucking was fierce, no one was given any time on the ball and there would have been more space if both teams had been locked in a broom cupboard.
