Ulster overcome slow start to claw back draw against Munster

A game of two halves. Munster utterly dominant in the first 40-minutes, racking up a bonus point and a 26-5 lead that looked unassailable. But Ulster re-emerged after the interval and, despite it being a slow burn initially, recalibrated all the misfiring parts to hold their visitors scoreless while crossing for three tries of their own to grab a draw.

Relief and regret were the feelings shared by both sides after the final whistle. Munster will reflect on their discipline, coughing up 17 penalties, and how little bits of their patterns unravelled, principally some costly lineout turnovers, but not everything can be laid at that door.
