Munster look set to book a home quarter final berth in the Heineken cup this weekend Saturday January 24th (3.25). Qualification was secured last week with an excellent victory over Sale.

They will be determined to get a victory this weekend so there will certainly be no let up. Munster are aiming to be among the four best points totals among the group winners. Tony McGahan is relishing the opportunity of a home quarter final tie.

He expects a tough challenge from Montauban who are certainly no pushovers at home. Montauban currently sit bottom of the group with only pride to play for. The have won just one of their five matches however they have already given Munster a good game at Thomond Park.
