Munster penalty

Glasgow win the line out, but the whistle goes again. With a second look, Richie Gray has pulled on Peter O'Mahony's arm, handing Munster another opportunity to kick into Glasgow's 22.

Glasgow keep applying the pressure in Munster's half. They aren't letting them out, dominating the rucks, but the referee deems their play on the floor isn't to standard and blows for another Munster penalty. Crowley kicks to the half way.
6

 

Three phases later and Sione Tuipulotu powers to within inches of the Munster try line! Unfortunately, the referee blows up for a Munster penalty.

Last time out

A reminder this is the 2022/23 league champions that we're playing. Munster also had the upper hand last time we met, back in December. That was a 40-29 win to the Irish side at Musgrave Park. But, Glasgow come off one of their best display's of the season, beating DHL Stormers in last weekend's quarter-final, 27-10.
17:52

And, Munster's

A reminder of our team
