However Munster played their way back into the game and a try from skipper Anthony Foley converted from the touchline by Ronan O'Gara who also landed two penalties left them trailing by just a single point at half time.

A controversial Thom Evans try in the 65th minute left Munster with a mountain to climb and that score was added to by Parks' conversion and although Munster launched a series of attacks that yielded a try for O'Connell Glasgow held on grimly.
