Summer signing Farrell struck in the 79th minute to win it after home sub James McNabney thought he had clinched an heroic victory for the hosts at Kingspan Stadium
Tom Farrell's hat-trick was just enough for Munster to beat 14-man Ulster's onslaught in a dramatic finale.
For long periods after it felt as though it was Munster who were down a player. But the Reds successfully defended their line time after time and it was Ulster who were left to reflect on a fifth defeat in a row. Munster coughed up four quick-fire penalties as Ulster started confidently and the hosts came close before O'Toole got over in the eighth minute, with John Cooney adding the extras.
But phase after phase - 26 in total - failed to gain them further momentum. Munster cleared when Alan O'Sullivan was penalised at the breakdown. O'Toole's dismissal soon followed and Nankivell, his victim, only lasted four minutes longer before his injury-forced departure, while Ulster lost Stuart McCloskey before the break.
It took less than two minutes for Munster to strike back to regain the lead. Brian Gleeson brilliantly found Calvin Nash and he sent Daly away to score.
