Munster lack final drive to break Warriors

Munster won the try count 2-1 but the team that finished one place above them in the league over the regular season were for the most part the better team, more accurate and disciplined and too defensively savvy to allow Munster to break through for a game-winning try.

Warriors fly-half Finn Russell did the damage, hitting three first-half penalties after Munster had taken the lead with a Damien Varley try converted by Ian Keatley and then converting prop Gordon Reid’s try early in the second half to hand outgoing head coach Penney a third semi-final defeat in his two seasons at the province.
