Overview
- Munster finished 21-7 at Thomond Park with tries from Shane Daly, Alex Kendellen and Lee Barron, all converted by JJ Hanrahan.
- Zebre’s reply was a first-half try from Bautista Stavile converted by Giacomo Da Re, leaving the sides level 7-7 at half-time.
- Replacement Kendellen scored around the 65th minute before Barron struck from a lineout to close out a controlled second half.
- Zebre centre Giulio Bertaccini was sin-binned inside three minutes for a deliberate knock-on, and a Paddy Patterson effort for Munster was later ruled out for a knock-on on review.
- In wet conditions before a crowd of just over 12,500, Munster logged an eighth win in 12 league games as Zebre remained bottom with a tenth straight URC defeat.
