Warriors ambush off-colour champions

Glasgow 22 Munster 9

The visitors were under-strength and in the event the lack of experience in several positions were cruelly exposed. Most worrying for Munster was the front-row battle where Glasgow were dominant for most of the contest.

Yet it seemed that Munster were the likely winners in the opening minutes as Glasgow were put under self-inflicted pressure, out-half Dan Parks spectacularly miscuing his first attempted high kick. The ball went backwards, allowing Munster to gather and force a scrum five metres out.
