Saracens hardman Kris Chesney admitted his side's monumental Heineken Cup quarter final triumph over Ospreys turned him and his team-mates into 'little kids'.

The final whistle was greeted with scenes of joy both on and off the pitch as the Men in Black's 19-10 triumph booked a semi final clash with Munster in Coventry.

The Men in Black, their attritional approach completely dumbfounding Ryan Jones and his fellow Wales stars, jumped for joy and embraced one another as the majority of the sold out 18,000 crowd stayed behind to applaud them off the pitch and listen to a rousing speech by captain Neil de Kock.

"Reaching the quarter finals was a massive buzz but when we won it turned us all into little kids," said Chesney, the no-nonsense lock. "I watched London Irish beat Perpignan (in one of the other quarter finals) the day before and saw the likes of (skipper) Bob Casey and Declan Danaher jumping about all over the place after they'd won and thought 'that could be us tomorrow, we could be in the semi finals'."

Saracens now take on Munster in the April 27 semi final at Coventry's Ricoh Arena and Chesney is expecting another tough battle after the Irish province beat Sarries 15-5 in a pre-season friendly last September.

"We played Munster in pre-season and they gave us a right tonking, so we know what we'll be up against," added the Sarries stalwart. "They produced a tremendous performance over Gloucester at Kingsholm (in their Heineken Cup quarter final win) and have a great European pedigree, so we know the size of the task ahead.

"We've got a tough few games before then against Gloucester and Wasps, so we'll be pretty well oiled for the Munster game."
