Tries from RG Snyman, Calvin Nash, Alex Nankivell, Conor Murray, Joey Carbery, Tom Ahern and Shane Daly hand Munster a convincing win
A swamped Connacht had to make 81 tackles during the opening 24 minutes, but only trailed 14-7 at half-time thanks to a late Byron Ralston try.
Despite conceding some early turnovers to Hurley-Langton and Peter Dooley, in-form Munster duly advanced downfield via penalties won in the scrum and at maul time. Connacht protested the winger’s one-handed finish, leading to Crowley’s missed conversion being retaken. He was successful with his second attempt from out wide.
