PRO14: Munster 64 Ulster 7

A depleted Ulster side suffered a record defeat as Munster ran in nine tries in Limerick tonight.

Darren Cave scored a consolation try during a purple patch for Ulster but it proved just a blip as five Munster tries followed.

Munster made a good start through Dan Goggin. A kick was charged down but the ball fell fortunately for Goggin and step saw the outside centre beat Ulster’s last man of defence, Pete Nelson. Joey Carbery converted and it wasn’t long before he was called back into action as stepped up to convert Tommy O’Donnell three minutes later. While the first try was unlucky, poor defence allowed O’Donnell an easy run in from Ulster’s 22m line.

Carbery added a penalty to give Munster the lead after 17 minutes. With 20 minutes gone, Ulster had their first period of pressure in the Munster half which resulted in a penalty. Due to being 17 points down, a kick at goal was turned down in favour of the lineout which was lost. Ulster came again but were unable to make any headway . . .
