Connacht 19-0 Munster
It’s all Connacht so far.
Munster have rarely threatened the opposition ’22 and a lot of the action is happening in their half of the field. Connacht have touched down three times in the first half and were also held up.
Sam Gilbert has two conversions from three attempts and Munster just can’t seem to get moving.
Gilbert reads the bounce well to secure the ball and kill off a Munster attack. Hanrahan claims the kick return as Munster start moving through the phases.
The good times continue for Connacht with a try from a set-piece.
Cian Prendergast set them up for the maul with a clean fetch from the lineout, and Shamus Hurley-Langton came in with the final push to get Connacht’s third try of the half.
Gilbert has no trouble with the conversion this time and it’s not looking good for Munster.
Munster win it back though following a knock-on which briefly brings some relief but Connacht then win a penalty after some brilliant work on the ground by Billy Bohan.
The hosts keep bringing the heat as they head for the corner.

Brilliant attack from Connacht as they close in on Munster’s five-metre line again.
Sorry, folks. Technical issues on our end. Let’s catch you up on what has happened in the last few minutes.
Shayne Bolton just got a try for Connacht while Munster have been reduced to 14 men after a yellow card for hooker Diarmuid Barron was upgraded to a 20-minute red card for his challenge on Dylan Tierney-Martin which forced him to be replaced by Eoin De Buitléar.
Meanwhile, Munster’s Lee Barron has come in for John Hodnett.
