In the United Rugby Championship last night, Munster edged Connacht 35-33 in a thriller at Thomond Park, as Shane Daly's try and Tony Butler's conversion proved critical.
Debutant half-backs Josh Ioane and Ben Murphy inspired a rejuvenated Connacht to lead 19-14 at half-time despite Santiago Cordero’s sin-binning.
However, Connacht’s dreams of repeating their famous 2015 and 2021 wins in Limerick were dashed when Daly went over for a try and Butler’s right boot did the rest.
