What a win!
Munster have completed a remarkable comeback against Scarlets this evening, rallying back from being 14 points down with 12 minutes to go to win the game in dramatic circumstances.
The Welsh side were on top for the vast majority of the contest, with a Leigh Halfpenny penalty in the 66th minute giving them a 24-10 lead. Few could have predicted the Irish side would get back into the game at this point, but a remarkable closing period ensured they would do just that.
It started with a Chris Farrell try, with the centre showing fantastic power to cross the whitewash.

However, that try would also come at a cost.
