Simon Zebo said Munster will be devastated by their 27-25 defeat to Toulon in the Champions Cup, but believes they will take positives from the performance. Munster had come back from 11 points down early in the second half to lead the French side 25-24. 

However, referee Karl Dickson awarded Toulon a contentious 75th minute penalty for Tom Farrell "taking the space" at the breakdown after he had made a tackle. Toulon fullback Marius Domon kicked the penalty to give his side the win.
