Heineken Cup Draw:  Munster have landed an away trip to Gloucester after the Heineken Cup quarter-final draw was made following yesterday's final pool matches.

Declan Kidney's charges booked their place in the last eight with a spirited and controlled performance to defeat holders Wasps 19-3 at Thomond Park on Saturday night.

Their reward is an away trip to Kingsholm to face a Gloucester side who defeated Ulster 29-21 in their final Pool Two encounter yesterday.

Leinster and Ulster both failed to advance from their respective Pools.
