Munster squeak it after leading 24-0 at the half. Lucky for them Saints were totally asleep until the second half, then it was just too late.

Saints eventually turned up but goodness that 1st half was abject.

Awful first half, much better second - although I thought the calls to go for goal with the last two pens was stupid, especially the final one. Dingwall made a difference when he came on.

On the maul at the end of the game that got turned over to end the game - I always thought that the ball went to the team that caught it if it was gathered from a kick and then turned into a maul and couldn't be played?

From an open play kick, you are correct, but it doesn't count from a restart. Besides, it would've been game over regardless of who the scrum was awarded to.
