Munster recover from a shaky start to battle past Scarlets

Munster recovered from a shaky start to battle past Scarlets and post a timely 19-7 win over the defending Guinness PRO14 champions at Thomond Park.

Tries at either end of the second half from Robin Copeland, who won his third man-of-the-math award in as many home games, and Alex Wootton sealed a hard-fought victory for the Irish province, who host Champions Cup quarter-final opponents Toulon at the same venue in a week's time.
