Glasgow Warriors stunned champions Munster at Thomond Park to secure a place in the United Rugby Championship final for the first time since 2019.Sebastian Cancelliere's stunning try added to that advantage before Antoine Frisch's score cut the lead back to four points.
Warriors found themselves on the wrong side of referee Andrea Piardi, conceding six penalties in a little over 10 minutes, and Richie Gray was sent to the sin-bin for persistent offences. Crowley knocked over a simple penalty to get the men in red on the board.The reigning champions were well on top but unable to make their superiority count and, on 24 minutes, they were hit with a sucker-punch.
Simon Zebo looked to hit back for the Irish side but was bundled into touch by Huw Jones as he bore down on the try-line. The 14 men started the second half on the front foot and passed up two kickable penalties to go to the corner, only to be repelled on each occasion by the Munster defence.Then came a moment of pure quality. Tom Jordan fielded a 22 restart deep in his own territory, ran it back and linked up with Rory Darge. He found Jones, who scorched earth through the Munster midfield and fed Cancelliere, who evaded the cover defence to touch down.
