Some of the best moments from the Pool games
Toulouse 20-16 Munster
Toulouse continued their unbeaten run in the Heineken Champions Cup with a hard-fought 20-16 win over Munster at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
Both sides had already progressed from Pool B before kick-off and this victory has given Toulouse a home last-16 tie.
