Ronan O'Gara's right boot helped Munster to a narrow 15-9 win in a cagey Heineken Cup clash with Saracens at Thomond Park.
O'Gara had a five-from-five kicking return, whereas his young counterpart Owen Farrell missed four of his seven shots at the posts.
Farrell redeemed himself by converting a 79th-minute penalty for a losing bonus point which keeps Saracens at the top of Pool 1, albeit with Munster now level on 10 points ahead of next week's return fixture in Watford.
