Munster were behind for most of it, but showed a real fighting spirit to battle back and earn a 10-10 draw, which will have them going home somewhat happy heading into next week's clash with Gloucester at Thomond Park.
It could have ended oh so badly for the men in red though had it not been for third choice scrum half, Williams.
A lot of pressure lay on the 32-year-old's shoulders but he really stepped up today for his side. His distribution was clean, he worked well alongside Carbery, and this tackle with 20 minutes to go absolutely saved Munster's skin.
With Munster trailing 10-3 and under serious pressure, it was Williams who stepped up and made what turned out to be a momentum shifting tackle deep in his own half.
As a result of his tackle, Munster were able to turn the ball over and take it up the field and level the game.
In what was a real war of attrition, no side was able to get the winning score, and both will march on to games next week knowing that they will need to pick up a win, in what is probably going to be a very very tight group.
For Munster, they may have bitten your hand off for a losing bonus point beforehand. One suspects they will be going home happy after drawing with one of the best sides English rugby has to offer.Prendergast admits huge disappointment at Munster situation
