Munster look to run from deep early on but Cardiff cover well to tackle Murphy into touch to set up an attacking LO

Welcome back to the second half. Only one change with Down coming in for Dicomidis.

Munster working through the phases in the Blues 22. Cardiff are slow to roll away and concede a penalty on HT.

Van Den Heever is well positioned to field a kick. The powerful South African then does well to make some hard yards before being taken to ground.

Munster look for quick ball but it's slowed down by some cynical Cardiff play. Munster get the penalty which Hanrahan knock to the corner. But the line out is crooked and Cardiff get off the hook.

Munster starting to exert some dominance. They're being patient and going through the phases which is proving too difficult for the Blues defence to deal with

Munster on the attack deep in the Cardiff 22. A good probing run down the right through Casey Laulala and Murphy has set up a good attacking position.

Davies sends the restart straight to touch, handing Munster a midfield scrum on halfway.

JJ Hanrahan slots his 3rd kick to the crowds delight!
