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

8'This time the Cheetahs win the penalty from the scrum.

6'Penalty for Munster as their scrum demolishes that of Cheeetahs. Hanrahan with the penalty, kicks down 10 metres outside the Cheetahs 22.

1'Goosen puts in a brilliant kick in behind the Munster defence and Munster have a lineout five metres from their own line.

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.
