Munster reach European Cup final
Munster will face Saracens in the final of rugby union's European Cup after an 18-16 victory over Saracens.
Saracens made the ideal start when Kameli Ratuvou scored a try after four minutes and Glen Jackson converted to open a 7-0 lead.
But fly-half Ronan O'Gara and flanker Alan Quinlan scored a try each for Munster, who led 15-7 at half-time.
Saracens were temporarily reduced to 13 men in the second half when props Nick Lloyd and Cencus Johnston were sin-binned but Jackson kicked two penalties to bring them back into the match at 15-13.
O'Gara kicked a crucial penalty midway through the second half to open a five-point lead.
Jackson kicked another penalty with less than ten minutes to play but they could not find a chance to win the match so Munster will face three-times champions Toulouse at the Millennium Stadium, where they won the 2006 final against Biarritz.
