Munster overturned a 13-point deficit to secure a dramatic 22-20 win over Dragons at Musgrave Park. Gavin Coombes was the catalyst, scoring two crucial second-half tries after entering as a replacement. The victory ended a four-game losing streak in all competitions for the Irish province.

The hosts struggled early, trailing 13-0 and 20-7 as Dragons dominated. Despite tries from Jean Kleyn and Coombes, Munster only clinched the lead in the final quarter through Tony Butler's penalty. The win lifts Munster to third in the United Rugby Championship table, though they have played two games more than Ulster below them.

Dragons will rue missed opportunities, having failed to secure a first league win outside Wales since October 2021. They earned a losing bonus point but couldn't hold onto their lead. The match highlighted Munster's resilience but also their ongoing inconsistency under new coach Clayton McMillan.
