Munster led 13-6 at the break and looked to be in total control but the Sharks hit back and the scores were locked at 16-16 when the Limerick-born flanker crossed in the right corner to edge the visitors back in front.

Sale began encouragingly enough - Luke McAlister missed a penalty and then converted one to put his side 3-0 ahead after three minutes - but Munster soon began to move through the gears.

A penalty from Ronan O'Gara drew them level in the 11th minute and five minutes later they conjured a delightful try which saw O'Gara find Alan Quinlan with a neat short offload to his left and he in turn found Warwick who crossed in the corner.

In the 20th minute, a brilliant long-range drop-goal from Paul Warwick extended Munster's lead but McAlister's second penalty kept Sale in contention at 13-6 at half-time

Another penalty from O'Gara extended Munster's lead shortly after the restart but Sale drew level by the 57th minute, first, McAlister's penalty cut the deficit and then Dean Schofield to bustled clear for a try which McAlister converted. Wallace's late try made the game safe for Munster despite centre Lifeimi Mafi being sin-binned for a high tackle on Sharks replacement Mathew Tait.
