THE PREDICTION
Munster beat struggling Cardiff 42-21 last Friday to make it three wins on the spin across all competitions. A 17-24 victory away at Ulster the week before is the best of three excellent results that make this Champions Cup quarter-final interesting at home to Toulouse, although the visitors also beat Ulster on the road last month to sneak through to the last eight 50-49 on aggregate. Toulouse will be buzzing after sneaking back into the Top 14 play-offs at the expense of rivals la Rochelle, who they beat 23-16 last Saturday, and as reigning champions they have already exhibited an ability to win hard in Ireland. If this comes down to the wire backing the away side outright looks the right way to lean.
