2013–14 Heineken Cup
On 19 January, Munster secured a home quarter-final in the knock-out stages of the 2013–14 Heineken Cup after a 38–6 win against Edinburgh at Thomond Park.[23][24] They faced Toulouse in the quarter-finals on 5 April.[25][26] Munster scored six tries to beat Toulouse 43-23 and reach the semi-finals.[27] A Keith Earls's try put Munster into a 10-point lead before two Luke McAlister penalties made it 13–9 at half time. Tries from Dave Kilcoyne and CJ Stander looked to have sealed the victory before Toulouse relied with a try from Hosea Gear. Further tries from Casey Laulala, Simon Zebo and Paul O'Connell made it a comfortable win in the end for Munster. CJ Stander, who replaced the injured Peter O'Mahony in the first half was named Man of the Match. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]
On 27 April in the semi-final against Toulon at the Stade Vélodrome, Munster lost 24–16.[35][36][37] Munster came from 18-9 down at half-time to score the game's only try through Simon Zebo who went over in the corner.[38][39] Jonny Wilkinson scored 21 points for Toulon.[40][41][42][43]
