Munster fight back to earn crucial draw against Sharks

Munster secured a fifth-place finish in the BKT United Rugby Championship with a superb come-from-behind draw against Cell C Sharks.

The two points gained, after clawing their way back from a 22-3 deficit, pushed Munster ahead of the Bulls, who hammered Leinster earlier.

A defeat with no bonus points would have put Munster in danger of missing out on Champions Cup rugby next season but they will regard it as a job well done as they also avoided another trip down to South Africa in the quarter-finals.

They will now play Glasgow Warriors away in the knock-out stages.
