MUNSTER – 25
GLASGOW – 24
Munster were run ragged at Thomond Park but they somehow – some bloody how – found a way to win a cracker.
17-7 behind with 20 minutes to go, Munster dug deep for the umpteenth time in their history to secure a stunning comeback win.
A brace of tries from Glasgow’s Peter Horne and George Horne looked to give the Scots the win but Alex Wootton gave them a lifeline and Alby Mathewson nipped over for a try with seven minutes to go.
Credit: eir SportMunster looked to have lost to Glasgow for a second time in this Guinness PRO14 season when Rory Scannell kicked away possession. Glasgow held on to the ball for the next six minutes but conceded a penalty at the breakdown with three seconds left on the clock.
With Munster captain Peter O’Mahony down for treatment, Scannell approached outhalf Ian Keatley and Billy Holland and told him he fancied a dart at the posts.
Never before was Thomond Park as silent as this. 48 metres out, with the angle, Scannell knew it was all or nothing. His connection was clean and it was all.
The Munster bench cleared as the home fans rejoiced.

There is some serious bad blood between Munster and Glasgow and turning a defeat to victory with the last kick of the game means this one will be remembered for a while to come.
