Munster can't live with slick Warriors

The champions surrendered their crown, in their own backyar knowing they would also have staged the final had they won.

Warriors centre Sione Tuipulotu believes they are building up a head of steam and is confident they can finish the job and lift the URC trophy in Pretoria.

"We truly believed in ourselves this week," he said. "These are the games you want to be involved in. We did it last week against the Stormers and we have now got one more to go. We are looking forward to heading to South Africa."

Munster enjoyed 64 per cent possession playing against the breeze in the opening half but still found themselves 7-3 adrift at the break despite Glasgow suffering two yellow cards.

Both sides were guilty of basic mistakes in a rivalry which has grown in recent years but Jack Crowley will rue a missed penalty from 25 metres in front of the posts which would have given Munster a perfect boost after just four minutes.
