Super Munster scorch to final

Munster 42 Ulster 10

The side produced a first half performance of high quality and considerable skill that overwhelmed an admittedly seriously handicapped Ulster side. It was 28-3 at half time, 42-10 including five tries at the finish, a record scoreline that bettered the 36-11 in Munster's favour at Musgrave Park in the mid-nineties.

The stage was set on a cold but otherwise perfect evening for a big Munster performance. They didn't disappoint, demonstrating once again just how difficult they are to beat at Thomond Park where such a thing hasn't happened since Leinster won an interprovincial game there in 1995.
