Munster led 23-16 with four minutes of the game remaining after Keith Earls sidestepped Ulster\u2019s Louis Ludik to touch down in the right corner. That the home side were down to 14 men on account of Iain Henderson\u2019s red card made the prospect of Munster seeing out the win seem all the more likely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But Neil Doak\u2019s side found the energy and incision to manufacture a Paul Marshall try that was converted by Paddy Jackson with the last act of the game, ensuring a 23-23 draw.<\/p>\n

Foley hinted that he will be taking a close look at the match tape to find out what exactly malfunctioned in Munster\u2019s numerically-superior defence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey kicked off [after Earls’ try] and won the ball,\u201d said Foley post-match in Belfast. \u201cWe needed to deal with that and we didn\u2019t deal with that.<\/p>\n

That late try echoed Munster\u2019s concession of a magnificent Tommy Bowe score on the stroke of half time, with those poor closing minutes in each half ultimately costing Munster a victory that would have moved them to the top of the Pro12 table.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe dominated most of the game and a few hiccups around the end of the first half and the end of the second half cost us dear,\u201d said Foley.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that we play the full 80 and I thought at stages in the game we were in a good dominant position, but unfortunately we didn\u2019t capitalise on that with the result.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite his frustration, Foley pointed out that he has come away from Belfast after defeat too often to be totally dissatisfied with a draw on this occasion. He remains hopeful that Munster can jump into the top two and grab a home semi-final after the final day of the regular season next weekend.<\/p>\n

The Dragons visit Musgrave Park on Saturday, and Munster will be waiting anxiously on the recoveries of Simon Zebo and Tommy O\u2019Donnell, both of whom were replaced after injuries against Ulster.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon struggled to get through the week with a back injury or back pain, his back was going into spasm,\u201d said Foley. \u201cHe trained fully on Thursday but took a collision early and the game and got a bad reaction to it. We had to take him off.<\/p>\n

The Dragons recorded their latest confidence-boosting win last night, as they dented Edinburgh\u2019s Champions Cup hopes with a 19-5 win at Rodney Parade. Foley will be taking nothing for granted next weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dragons have beaten Leinster home and away this year,\u201d said Foley. \u201cThey\u2019re a good side, they\u2019ve a lot of quality players in their side.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll prepare the same as we prepared this week, we\u2019ll make sure we\u2019re fully focused on the game and making sure we get the result. Hopefully we can get a better position in the top four.\u201d<\/p>\n
