Munster coach Tony McGahan admits his side can have no qualms about their Heineken Cup semi-final defeat to Biarritz.
Dimitri Yachvili’s six penalties inspired the French side to an 18-7 win on Sunday in San Sebastian to set up an all-French final following Toulouse beating Leinster 26-16 a day earlier.
Ireland star Keith Earls ran in a try as the Irish side started brightly and opened up a 7-0 lead but Yachvili’s dead-eyed boot eventually saw Biarritz home.
And McGahan was under no illusions as to who were the best side on the day, saying:”Biarritz played very cleverly in the second half. Their set-piece was excellent and they kicked to the corners very well.
“They put us under a tremendous amount of pressure and shut up shop.
“We tried to defend our way back into their half which didn’t give us any platform whatsoever.
“Our set-piece was a concern all afternoon. They dominated that area of the game and we had no platform to play off at all.”
