Live Reporting

Gareth Griffiths & Andrew Petrie & Mark Strange

  1. Sharks 24-24 Munster

    The Sharks are approaching the Munster 22 after a penalty gets them up the pitch.

  2. Sharks 24-24 Munster

    Mike Haley knocks on and it will be scrum down Sharks still on their own 22 just slightly further out towards their right wing.

    Seven minutes for somebody to be the hero and avoid the shootout!

  3. Kick-off

    Sharks 24-24 Munster

    A very short break for a water or energy drink and here we go again! Vincent Tshituka spills the restart and gives Munster a scrum on the Sharks 22.

  4. Half-time

    Sharks 24-24 Munster

    Incredible bravery from Tom Ahern as he charges down an attempted drop goal from Jordan Hendrikse with almost the last play of the first half of extra time.

    The hosts have dominated the first 10 minutes but have not been able to trouble the scoreboard operator.

    Ten more minutes of rugby to decide this one!

  5. Sharks 24-24 Munster

    A chip ahead from Aphelele Fassi lands perfectly for Francois Venter who makes ground down the left. However, the pass off the deck from James Venter to Eben Etzebeth is quite clearly forward.

    The Sharks aren't happy with a hit from Mike Haley on Makazole Mapimpi but the officials are unmoved.

  6. Sharks 24-24 Munster

    Huge Munster defence on the line! They bend but do not break as who else but Tadhg Beirne gets over the ball and forces James Venter to hold on.

    That is a massive moment with two minutes left in the first half of extra time remaining.

  7. Sharks 24-24 Munster

    The answer is that they are going to the corner. Lineout Sharks inside the Munster 22.

  8. Sharks 24-24 Munster

    The Sharks are getting the shove on in the scrum again. There are some very tired legs in that Munster front row with Michael Milne having returned to replace his injured replacement Josh Wycherley earlier.

    Penalty advantage Sharks as a wide pass to Ethan Hooker goes down. What will the Sharks do from here? A very kickable position.

  9. Kick-off

    Sharks 24-24 Munster

    We are underway in extra-time! Despite being subbed off earlier, Peter O'Mahony has delivered a typically passionate team talk to get his side going.

    If we are still level after two halves of ten minutes, we will have one of the rarest sights in rugby - a place kicking shootout. The nerves will be jangling in Durban and in rugby clubs and living rooms all over Munster!

  10. Full-time

    Sharks 24-24 Munster

    Incredibly, nothing can separate the two sides after 80 minutes and we will have another 20 minutes of extra-time to decide who faces the Bulls in the last four.

    What a thriller this has been in Durban!

  11. Penalty Sharks 24-24 Munster

    Conor Murray

    He nails it! What a strike from the replacement scrum half who, as we know, is also hoping this isn't his last game in red.

    He goes a long way towards helping that by draining an enormous three pointer off the tee.

    We are level with just over two minutes left in Durban! What an ending coming up!

  12. Sharks 24-21 Munster

    What a moment as replacement Conor Murray sets the ball on the tee for a penalty from 45 metres.

  13. try

    Converted Try Sharks 24-21 Munster

    Fez Mbatha (con Ja. Hendrikse)

    The Sharks pressure tells as they win the lineout cleanly and recycle the ball. Replacement hooker Fez Mbatha is the man who takes the ball in midfield and crashes over for a converted try.

    It has all gone wrong for Munster under enormous Sharks pressure.

  14. Sharks 17-21 Munster

    Gavin Coombes is rather harshly pinged for being on the wrong side of the ruck and the penalty is sent to within 10 metres of the Munster line.

  15. try

    Converted Try Sharks 17-21 Munster

    Aphelele Fassi (con Ja. Hendrikse)

    The lack of a penalty try doesn't matter as another big drive allows the Sharks backs to get over in the corner as full back Aphelele Fassi scores and Jaden Hendrikse converts for a seven-pointer.

    Huge ending to this game coming up.

  16. Sharks 10-21 Munster

    The Munster scrum is under serious pressure and another penalty comes the way of the hosts although they think it should be a penalty try.

    Trouble for the visitors too as two of their replacement front rowers Diarmuid Barron and try scorer Josh Wycherley both exit with injury bringing back Michael Milne and Niall Scannell.

  17. Sharks 10-21 Munster

    Scrum down Sharks under the Munster posts... big moment here.

  18. converted try

    Converted try Sharks 10-21 Munster

    Diarmuid Kilgallen (con Crowley)

    Try stands! What a huge moment for Munster! Replacement Mike Haley grubbers in behind and, not for the first time today, Makazole Mapimpi is deceived by the bouncing ball as the covering wing slips.

    Diarmuid Kilgallen hacks on and shrugs off Aphelele Fassi to dive on the ball just centimetres before the dead ball line. A huge score to open up the lead as Jack Crowley nudges the extras.

    15 remaining at Kings Park!

  19. Try review

    Sharks 10-14 Munster

    Diarmuid Kilgallen thinks he has scored a quite incredible try but we are checking for a knock-on.

  20. Sharks 10-14 Munster

    Peter O'Mahony has been replaced and will be hoping that this is not the last time he pulls on a Munster jersey. His team have just over 20 minutes to hold this lead and make sure he gets to play at least one more time.

    Worth noting that if Munster were to get all the way to the final, it would be his 200th appearance for his home province... a long way to go before that can really be thought about!
