Munster maintained their winning start to this season's Magners League by overcoming Glasgow Warriers 43-29 and securing a bonus point at Firhill at the weekend.

Munster trailed 26-17 at half time having conceded a late try to Colin Gregor.  They then went on to dominate the second half and tries from Niall Ronan and Johne Murphy - his second of the night.

A flawless kicking return from Ronan O'Gara earned them a victory they richly deserved.
