Munster record bonus point victory

It had been a dozy opening for the Irish but the setback seemed to wake them up. The line out was providing a string of steals and the scrum, with John Ryan playing his 200th game at prop, was also looking strong. Crucially, Blair Kinghorn missed both conversions, leaving Munster only 10 points behind and that was as bad as it was to get.
That seemed to suck the life out of the home side and Munster soon had the bonus point to add to their bag as Gavin Coombes, the No8, forced his way over from five metres out after another spell on the home line.
