  1. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    The chance is wasted and off go Northampton. What a game this is!

  2. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Tadhg Beirne wins another breakdown penalty. He must be the best in the world at that. Top three at least.

    Munster into Northampton's 22.

  3. Replacements - Munster

    Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Conor Murray is on for Craig Casey and Alex Kendellen comes in for Peter O'Mahony.

    Murray's experience will be vital.

  4. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Burger Odendaal smashes his way in the Munster 22. Northampton have their tails up, but Munster again win a breakdown penalty.

  5. Replacement - Mitchell on

    Northampton 14-14 Munster

    England scrum-half Alex Mitchell is on for Tom James. The game is in the balance and a perfect time to bring on someone of his ability.

  6. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Paul Grayson
    Former England fly-half on BBC Sports Exta

    Both Tadhg Beirne and Peter O'Mahony have parts of their game which are world-class - you saw that there.

  7. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Munster pinch the line-out and the chance goes. Vintage Peter O'Mahony.

    Tadhg Beirne then gets over the ball and Munster can clear. That is another chance gone.

  8. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Massive scrum penalty for Northampton! No surprise as Fin Smith smashes it into the corner.

  9. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Some kick tennis going on which is a change from the opening period.

    Northampton charge into the Munster 22...

  10. Kick-off

    Northampton 14-14 Munster

    More of the same please.

  11. HT: Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Munster are very known for their famous European wins when they have been written off.

    A high-flying Northampton were favourites for this one and Munster are proving to never write them off.

  12. 'Munster have been fantastic in attack'

    HT: Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Paul Grayson
    Former England fly-half on BBC Sports Extra

    Munster have been fantastic in attack, constantly forcing Northampton to go to the defensive well.

    There is not much to change for them and they will have an advantage now with the wind.

  13. HT: Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Paul Grayson
    Former England fly-half on BBC Sports Extra

    Forget whether you support Munster or Northampton. This game has lifted the standard of the tournament.

  14. Half-time - Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Some half of rugby!

  15. Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Big Tom Ahern is the next player to break clear down the wing. He tries a chip but is unable to recollect. That is a lock by the way.

  16. try

    Converted try - Northampton 14-14 Munster

    Tommy Freeman (con Fin Smith)

    That man again!

    The combination of Fin Smith and Tommy Freeman works again, as Freeman goes in untouched.

    It worked last weekend against Saracens and it was a very similar move again from the pair.

  17. Northampton 7-14 Munster

    Northampton send the ball deep into the Munster 22. A score now would be huge before the break.

  18. Northampton 7-14 Munster

    Tommy Freeman is the next player to try an outrageous offload. It was worth trying as Northampton would have been away.

    The Saints are yet to fully click.

  19. Northampton 7-14 Munster

    Simon Zebo is rolling back the years as he nearly breaks through. He looks so bright after a difficult couple of seasons with injury.

  20. try

    Converted try - Northampton 7-14 Munster

    Mike Haley (con Jack Crowley)

    It was coming.

    Munster batter the Northampton line before Mike Haley picks up the ball and dives over.
