They progress to the final where they will face fellow French side Toulouse in Paris on May 22nd. /spanbr /br /Keith Earls scored a good try for Munster as they went into the halftime lead 7-3 up, but in the second half the forward pack of the Biarritz side ground them down, allowing Dimitri Yachvili to show his class as he kicked them to victory.br /br /Six kicks from six attempts meant that whenever Munster stepped out of line, they were made to pay as they threw everything into it in the final ten minutes.br /br /The game wasn’t as entertaining as one might have hoped, with both sides coughing up a few unforced handling errors that halted the flow to some extent. The tension rose near the end though, as Biarritz held on and the crowd got behind them.br /br /Man of the Match Yachvili said afterwards that he’s very proud to have made the final.br /br /"This is very emotional - we left everything out there. We were in a bit of bother in the first half - but we realised that our mental strength, solidity and team spirit could get us through and we proved our mettle," he said.br /br /Imanol Harinordoquy, who played with a broken nose and then left with injured ribs after 66 minutes, was overjoyed afterwards.br /br /"The lads did a fantastic job - group spirit brought us through. We want to win it now as Toulouse have been champions before and we haven't."br /br /span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"/spanspan style="font-style: italic;"If you want to get to the final, buy your tickets now and get a 5% discount through by using the Rugbydump voucher code (/spanspan style="font-style: italic;"VGGDUMP5/spanspan style="font-style: italic;") when buying /spana style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.viagogo.co.uk/Sports-Tickets/Rugby-Union/Heineken-Cup-Tickets?affiliateID=724amp;PCID=AFFIAFFUK7246D202AE83F" target="_blank"Heineken Cup Final tickets/aspan style="font-style: italic;"./spanbr /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bXmDnGpLEA4amp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bXmDnGpLEA4amp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerdiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-7653213497155342962?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=rCN26bnQCyg:CnzE6c2M8XQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/rCN26bnQCyg" height="1" width="1"/ More...
