Another Munster smash and grab

Munster 16 Scarlets 10

Similarly though, players, coaches and fans had to endure a worrying finale against 13-man Scarlets when referee Nigel Owens referred Ronan O’Mahony’s 83rdminute try to the TMO (Dermot Moloney) for scrutiny. Happily for them once again, the decision went Munster’s way.

Scarlets coach Simon Easterby was annoyed at the awarding of the try, believing a touch judge intimated there could have been a knock-on by Munster in the build-up. However, the video evidence threw up no conclusive evidence of a mistake and, after a long deliberation, Owens decided the score was good.
