Reigning champions Munster overturn a half-time deficit to beat Ulster at Thomond Park and finish in top spot of the United Rugby Championship [URC].
Reigning champions Munster finished top of the United Rugby Championship after overturning a half-time deficit to beat Ulster at Thomond Park.
Ulster, who were already assured of an away tie in the last eight, saw their losing bonus point guarantee Champions Cup rugby for next season.Ulster struggled to get on the right of side of referee Frank Murphy in the early exchanges, giving away a series of penalties in the opening minutes. It was no less than Munster deserved for their superior start, Ulster struggling out of the blocks having lost Stuart McCloskey and Ethan McIlroy before kick-off, and then Kieran Treadwell after just five minutes.
Munster lacked momentum in their carries, although they did show flashes when getting the ball into space during broken play, but it was Ulster who deservedly added to their advantage before the turn.
