F-T: Munster 40, Glasgow 29. A statement victory for the reigning champions against the league leaders. Eleven tries in all, six to the hosts, with Glasgow’s five - all off lineout mauls - earning them a bonus point. Munster shoot up to third in the table.
4 maul tries for Glasgow in one game... Really impressive driving from Glasgow, but can't help thinking Munster's defence of it has been very naive too. Message has to come on to either change approach defensively, or draw attention to the lifter's position after the set.
Glasgow’s lineout maul drive is some weapon. All four of their tries tonight have stemmed from that department. It has enabled them to cut Munster’s lead to 33-22 in Cork with 15 minutes to go.
Glasgow's tails are up now. Maul doing massive damage to Munster. Have their try-scoring bonus point and back within 11 points. Beirne in the bin.
Glasgow's maul and Johnny Matthews are like a double-barrel shotgun when it comes to lineout attack. #MUNvGLA
H/t. Munster 26 Glasgow 5.
H-T: Munster 26, Glasgow 5. Hugely impressive from the URC champions against the league leaders in chilly Cork. The four-try bonus point in the bag before the break, with giant blindside flanker Tom Ahern crossing twice in the left corner.
There's a proper Scottish Rugby mental scar. This is a Glasgow/Scotland away game all over, under pressure. It may not be their strongest side, and no disrespect to Munster but Glasgow are throwing this. Strongest defence making Munster look like 2015 All Blacks
😲 Stunning try from Munster! 👏 #URC #MUNvGLA https://t.co/ZBuZOcPTpQ
Such a cleverly crafted kickoff scheme from Munster to create this try. Two phases infield, one with Frisch hidden in the ruck, before bouncing back with a 3-layered attack to break out and score. https://t.co/XOuak1g0Hj #MUNvGLA #URC

Munster are on fire right now. Taking the ball to the line, always looking for the 2nd pass, fantastic attacking rugby. #MUNvGLA #URC
That is a bloody phenomenal try from Munster. If they weren't good value for their first two, that one was class.
That's just beautiful from Munster!
Glasgow must be getting something wrong. Looking good at the breakdown but the ref is having none of it. Need to be careful
