O’Mahony to rescue for Reds
It took a try from wing Ronan O’Mahoney in the fourth minute of injury to finally kill off a spirited defensive effort from the Pirates, who had two players sin-binned.
The Pirates had started aggressively and took a deserved lead through Aaron Penberthy’s early penalty. Munster responded just before the half-hour mark with the opening try for centre Danny Barnes following a strong break by Dave O’Callaghan, but with the conversion missed the Cornish side regained the initiative.
