Munster's wait for silverware is finally over after weathering the second half Storm in Cape Town.
John Hodnett's 75th minute try, the culmination of a superb attacking move from halfway, put the Reds in front and Jack Crowley's conversion pushed his side five points clear.
In a dramatic finish, Crowley was sent to the sin bin as Munster conceded penalties close to their own line but, fittingly, Tadhg Beirne won a turnover penalty as the clock turned into the red and Reds dreams were suddenly reality.
