Munster v Glasgow – URC semi-final at Thomond Park

Munster

Glasgow Warriors

That's all we have time for folks! It was a pleasure to bring that enthralling game to you. A tough afternoon for Irish rugby fans as both Munster and Leinster bow out in the URC semi-finals. Enjoy the rest of your evening! 

Another thrilling second-half of rugby! Bitterly unlucky on Munster but the handling errors crept into their game as the match wore on. Sebastian Cancelliere's try provided the platform for the Warriors. Although Antoine Frisch responded for Munster and cut the lead to 4 points, George Horne's late penalty practically put the game out of reach. John Ryan's knock on at the death proved costly as Glasgow hung on for victory.

There will be no Irish representation at the URC Final on the 22nd of June! Glasgow Warriors have completed the smash and grab in Thomond Park.

We're into the final minute. Glasgow get the ball out of the scrum and Tuipulotu carries. 

Huw Jones and Kyle Steyn did just enough to put the prop off. It will be a scrum feed to Glasgow with just over a minute left of regular time. There will be a reset. Munster looked to put the pressure on and force a penalty but Andrea Piardi was not happy with either team's front row engagement. 

Jack Crowley finds touch in the Warriors' 22-metre line and Tadgh Beirne sets the maul. Sean O'Brien carries through the centre. Munster are just 10 metres out but John Ryan spills the ball forward. 

Antoine Frisch and Shane Daly combine to carry Munster up to halfway and secure an advantage in the process. The Thomond Park crowd rises to the challenge and roars their side on. 

The Warriors' scrum-half knocks over the penalty with ease from 15 metres range. Its a 7-point game and Munster desperately require a converted try.

RED CARD! MUNSTER ARE DOWN TO 14 MEN!

The inside centre has no mitigating circumstances to aid his plea. It was clear and direct contact to the head of George Horne. Munster have a mountain to climb now!

The Warriors have an advantage as John Ryan fails to roll away from the ruck. There is also a TMO check for Alex Nankivell's clear out on George Horne. This doesn't look good from a Munster point of view.

A monstrous scrum from the Warriors' pack wins the penalty and Tom Jordan kicks them into the Munster 22.

Hodnett departs after a mighty shift as Alex Kendellen takes his place in the back-row. 

A chance to look at that Antoine Frisch try which has Munster in touching distance of the Warriors' lead:

Tom Jordan finds Kyle Steyn on the wing with a skip pass. The Warriors' captain is turned over by Sean O'Brien and Munster play their way up field through Peter O'Mahony. Sean O'Brien looks to carry again but the winger knocks on. 

Munster build momentum as John Hodnett leads the charge. RG Snyman can't hold onto possession on halfway. The handling errors continue to mount up for both sides as nerves grow.

Here's a look at that Sebastian Cancelliere try for Glasgow Warriors: 

The Warriors look to launch an attack off their lineout on the Munster 22-metre line but it breaks down. A knock on leads to no advantage for Munster and play is winded back for a scrum. 

A change at loosehead for Munster.

Offside against Munster rewards the Warriors with a penalty but Tom Jordan fails to find touch. The kicking battle ensues but Andrea Piardi goes back for a second offside against RG Snyman after Mike Haley's kick. 

Depending on the game's outcome it could be his last appearance in the red of Munster as Simon Zebo departs for Sean O'Brien.
