31'Munster get the drive on in the scrum and they are over the line but we go to the TMO. A knock on from Copeland at the scrum cancels out the try.

30'14-0 Conversion - Johan Goosen , Cheetahs
29'12-0 Try - Tian Meyer , Cheetahs
28'TRY Cheetahs score a second try. All started off with Hanrahan kicking the ball straight into touch. Blommetjies snipes off the ruck and passes to Tian Meyer who strolls in for a try.
22'And Munster cough up possession at the lineout. This has been incredibly poor performance by both teams, handling, errors being made preventing any momentum coming into the game.
21'Munster break into the Cheetahs 22, through their maul. Hanrahan takes the ball and looks to jinx inside the cover but knocks on. We go back for the penalty.
20'The ball goes infield from the lineout and Cheetahs are penalised for not releasing.
18'Somehow Cheetahs botch their latest attempt inside the Munster 22, for some reason trying to chip in behind the defence but it is caught, the mark is called and Munster can clear through Hanrahan.
18'Yellow card - Simon Zebo , Munster
17'Venter goes five metres from the line but is brilliantly tackled. The ball goes wide and Uzair Cassiem is hit by a huge tackle by Arnold. Simon Zebo for some reason is the bin.
16'The Cheetahs having the best of the opening exchanges, but every time they get inside the Munster 22, they look petrified of where they are. They should be a lot further ahead.
14'The fields of Athenry rings out around Toyota Stadium, with pockets of fans in the gigantic stadium.
12'7-0 Conversion - Johan Goosen , Cheetahs
11'5-0 Try - Clayton Blommetjies , Cheetahs

9'Goosen kicks to touch inside the Munster 22.
8'This time the Cheetahs win the penalty from the scrum.
7'Munster gather the lineout and the maul is stopped. Hart puts the forwards in motion but they knock the ball on and with the ball tossed back in from Venter to Clayton Blommetjies, he knocks on. Scrum Munster.
6'Penalty for Munster as their scrum demolishes that of Cheeetahs. Hanrahan with the penalty, kicks down 10 metres outside the Cheetahs 22.

2'Munster win the lineout after Hanrahn cleared to touch. Hart box kicks and they win the ball again 10 metres outside the Cheetahs 22 but Arnold loses possession in midfield.
1'Quick Munster lineout and they are out of their 22 with Hanrahan kicking to touch.
1'Goosen puts in a brilliant kick in behind the Munster defence and Munster have a lineout five metres from their own line.
1'Goosen gets us off to a start with Copeland gathering for Munster. Hart kicks to touch. Be interesting to see how JJ Hanrahan and James Hart form a partnership at halfback.
1'Munster in second, Cheetahs in third and separated by six points with two games to go. Cheetahs could put some pressure on them with victory in South Africa.
1'A Munster side take the field, led by Peter O'Mahony as they look to make a final push for the PRO14 playoffs.
1'0-0 Start of first half
