Tom Farrell try the clincher as Connacht roared home against Munster

Connacht 20 Munster 16

A 66th minute try from Connacht centre Tom Farrell, converted by replacement fly-half Craig Ronaldson gave the home side the winning edge and punished Munster for Conway’s red card after he collided in mid-air with starting number 10 Jack Carty.

For Connacht it was the final point to prove on a night where there were plenty in the wake of Joe Schmidt’s Ireland selection for next month’s Tests against South Africa, Fiji and Argentina. All eyes had been on the opposing full-backs Tiernan O’Halloran and Simon Zebo, both overlooked by the national head coach.
