Rory Scannell steps up like an absolute boss to clinch it for Munster

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.

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.
