Munster 27 - 14 Maori All Blacks

Munster maximized on mistakes by Maori in wet and windy conditions in Limerick scoring four tries to two to bag a 27-14 victory on Friday.

Good times continue for Irish Rugby as they have managed to capture their second victory over New Zealand in space of a week.

Hooker Niall Scannell (13), right-wing Darren Sweetnam (37), left-wing Ronan O'Mahony (67) scored tries for the Irish while the match referee awarded them a Penalty try on 30th minute.

Fly-half Ian Keatley managed to convert two tries while missing out on two apart from also slotting a penalty on the 43rd minute.

Left-wing James Lowe (23) and right-wing Ambrose Curtis (25) were the two try scorers for the Maori side.

Before the start of the match, following the Haka, the Maori captain Ash Dixon presented the sons of the late Anthony Foley with a jersey.

Foley, a Munster player and coach, died suddenly last month.

The Maori All Blacks will now travel to London to face Harlequins in the concluding game of their tour.
