Munster kept up the pressure on Pool 5 rivals Wasps and Clermont with a 22-13 win over Llanelli Scarlets in the European Cup rugby competition today.
In Pool 6, three-time European champions Toulouse beat Leicester 22-11 to cement their place as group leaders on 14 points and their charge for a quarter-final spot.
Leicester remain second on nine points, one ahead of Leinster, who were outmuscled 29-10 by Edinburgh on Saturday, the Scottish side's first win in four games.
"We're delighted with the win," said Toulouse's former All Black scrum-half Byron Kelleher.
"We knew we let ourselves down last week (when Toulouse lost 14-9 to Leicester).
"But we're very happy with our progress so far this season.
"We're trying to make sure we put some back-to-back performances in and build consistency."
Munster's win saw the Irish province move top of their group on 14 points, with defending champions Wasps one point off in second after their thrilling 25-24 win over Clermont on Saturday.
The French club have 10 points while the Scarlets remain winless from their four matches.
Munster, however, still have to play Clermont away before hosting Wasps in their final group game on the weekend of January 18-20.
