Munster living dangerously. Nice play from Carbery and Crowley in that buildup. On that scrum, Kilcoyne is penalised and Glasgow go to the corner. Great work from Jamie Dobie and Sione Vailanu gets over the whitewash. Surely game over now. Stafford McDowall got the visitors their second try of the game fighting off Joey Carbery and Calvin Nash to touch the ball down.

The URC is back this weekend and the playoffs are getting closer. Here is everything you should know about this decisive Munster v Glasgow game.
This includes the likes of Zander and Matt Ferguson, Ali Price and Scott Cummings. Dwayne Peel's players scored five tries in the second half but it wasn't enough to stop Munster who managed to get three more tries in the second half. However they allowed the Scarlets to come back in the game. Hooker Jonathan Matthews was the man of the match with three tries. Fifth placed Munster will welcome fourth side Glasgow in there last home game this regular season. The playoffs are just around the corner and it is important for every team to secure crucial points in order to finish in the top eight.
Glasgow Warriors impressively overcame Munster in the United Rugby Championship, sealing a 38-26 triumph, while the Scarlets defeated the Sharks 32-20.
Sharks needed a quick response and they got one when first Mbonambi finished off a move from a lineout before Bosch fired over a penalty from the halfway line but two further penalties from Costelow gave Scarlets a notable scalp. Scarlets began with some blistering rugby. Prop Wycherley replied in the 70th minute after Coombes was stopped short. A speculative cross-field kick from Costelow bounced unfavourably for two covering Sharks and Evans was on hand to boot the ball forward before collecting it to score. Sharks had not had a sniff in the opening quarter but they steadied the ship and reduced the arrears when their captain Kolisi forced his way over from close range to find themselves only 13-7 adrift at the interval. Costelow succeeded with all eight attempts at goal as he landed six penalties and the conversions to a brace of tries from Steff Evans.
Glasgow Warriors march to a 31-0 lead in opening 50 minutes against Munster at Thomond Park to step closer to home URC play-off quarter-final.
Thomond was pulsating with Munster on the drive, but the men in red let the restart bounce then Crabery sent a wild pass at the unprepared Coombes who knocked-on to hand Warriors an attacking scrum right in front of the posts. We need to look at how we manage the position we had got ourselves into better during the second half. Miotti nailed the touchline conversion. One thing is for certain, Warriors are now in the play-offs no matter what, because the lowest they can finish is seventh. They need to finish in the top four for that home play-off draw. The attacking line-out malfunctioned but Munsterโs momentum had been broken.
Munster salvaged a four-try bonus-point on a very disappointing night at Thomond Park on Saturday with Glasgow Warriors claiming a deserved victory.
Miottiโs conversion moved Glasgow 38-14 ahead after 60 minutes. Whenever the province looked to string phases together, knock-ons stymied any chance of gaining momentum. Miotti again converted to make it 14-0 to Glasgow after 25 minutes and was in for the third Glasgow try on 31 minutes.
