Sale to throw into the lineout on their own 22 metre line

Ball sent cross field and the attack on out wide with Sale

10 points the difference now just 3 minutes into the second half.

Sale gather a high ball and the counter attack begins

What a start by Munster, Earls makes the break and covers 50 metres weaving his way through the defence before being taken down just before the line however momentum brings him over and he's awarded the try.

TMO being used on a possible Earls try

Part 2 underway

What a first 40 we've just witnessed. The tension beginning to rise as we see numerous tussles in the last 5 minutes. All to play for here in Thomond Park as Munster lead by just 3 points. Possession been similar for both sides , both sides seem to be playing a different game plan as Munster attack out wide using their backs while Sale have been keeping it in tight making good use of the forward on the attack. Big second half in store, stay with us

That was a shocker
