Gritty Munster edge Lions at home

Gritty Munster edge Lions at home

Munster picked up a much-needed 17-10 victory over the Lions in their United Rugby Championship clash at Thomond Park that was just their third victory of the URC campaign.

Thaakir Abrahams, Shane Daly and Alex Kendellen scored the home side's tries while Billy Burns kicked one conversion in an error-strewn match between the two teams.

The Lions, who suffered just their second defeat of the URC season, grabbed one try through Henco Van Wyk and it was an absolute scorcher from the classy outside centre.

Kade Wolhuter sent over a conversion and a penalty before he was replaced due to injury as the URC now heads into another breather, this time for European club action.
