The Breakdown EP83: Munster beat Exeter while Leinster, Ulster & Connacht also progress

It may not have been pretty but Munster stood tall when they needed to and eked out a hard fought 9-7 win in what was a pulsating and absorbing round 6 game of Pool 2. The win sets up a 1/4 final trip to Edinburgh at the end of March while Leinster will host Ulster on the same weekend. Connacht will make the journey to England to play Sale in their Challenge Cup 1/4 Final.
