They went further ahead at the very start of the second half when Rua Tiopki's set up Anthony Horgan for a try that Warwick converted (17-6) and two more penalties from the livewire out-half pushed Munster clear.

However a penalty from Rhys Priestland and his conversion of a Matthew Watkins try opened the door for the visitors but Warwick slammed it firmly shut with a monster penalty from near half way in the closing minutes.
