Niall Scannell praised his side’s character as Munster edged a tight URC derby encounter at Ulster on Friday night.

Munster, 11th in the URC table and coming off a 16-14 European loss at Castres seven days earlier, claimed a bonus-point 22-19 victory at Kingspan Stadium with Tom Farrell sealing victory with a last-minute try, his third of the evening, converted by Jack Crowley having trailed 19-15.
