Speaking after the final whistle, the stand-off said: "At the start of the year, qualifying for Europe was probably the club's main goal. After a narrow loss to Munster we knew how tough it was going to be. There's still a long way to go yet but today was a brilliant performance.
"Everything we planned for all week and the way we predicted the game was going to go happened. It's not often you get that. We scored early on and kept the foot down.
"The confidence we had, the forwards with the line-out drives and set-piece were outstanding. We're on the bus back up the road tonight - we'll hopefully get a couple of beers, but we're back in camp tomorrow!"
