RaboDirect PR012: Munster end Ulster's winning streak

Munster ended Ulster's 11-game winning start to the RaboDirect PR012 season with a 24-10 win at Thomond Park.

Luke Marshall continued to pose problems with some strong carries, but Munster had the game within their grasp if not the bonus point. It never came and although the result sees Munster now just a point behind the second-placed Scarlets and ten behind front-running Ulster, they will be frustrated by how they finished this derby tie. Ulster's replacement scrum half Michael Heaney opened up space with a snappy injury-time break. His flicked pass inside reached Robbie Diack, who fed the onrushing Birch for a well worked try which Olding converted with the last kick.
