HOLDERS Toulon home to former Wallabies Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell reached the European Cup final with a 24-16 defeat of two-time winners Munster in a pulsating encounter in Marseille.
Former England great Jonny Wilkinson scored 21 of his side's points while Munster appearing in a record 11th semi-final scored the only try of the match through Simon Zebo.
Toulon will play English side Saracens, who thrashed last season's finalists Clermont 46-6 on Saturday, in the final in Cardiff on May 24.
It was a hell of a game, Wilkinson, who turns 35 the day after the final, told Sky Sports.
We were in danger all over the pitch. They have so many tricks up their sleeve that I thought even eight points might not be enough of a lead. We had to be switched on for today and fortunately we were.
Zebo was devastated by the defeat which was the fourth time he had lost in the semi-finals.
Turning this sequence around has to come from within ourselves, said the 24-year-old winger.
We can't keep doing this to ourselves every year. Semi-finals are not good enough for Munster rugby club.
