It's an amazing scoreline from an Ulster perspective.

Munster have left two tries behind them. The unforced errors, their coaching staff must be going mad.

These Ulster young pups, it's like it's nothing to them. They've really fronted up.

We know this is a tough place to come and play.

Munster's handling goes from the sublime to the ridiculous much to the frustration of the Thomond Park crowd.

Lovely offloads by Simon Zebo and Jack Crowley make ground before Jack O'Donoghue throws one forward.

Into the last minute of the first 40.

With five minutes until the break, Rory Scannell's game is over as the rather sizeable frame of Eric O'Sullivan lands awkwardly on his ankle.

The stretcher is out for him and we wish him well. The skillful and ever-dangerous Joey Carbery is on at inside centre beside Crowley and will give Ulster a different look with two ball-handlers to deal with.

I felt that one from here! Addison goes on a darting run but is blindsided by a massive hit by Shane Daly. A textbook tackle from the Munster winger and one that Addison will be feeling for a while.

Both teams are really evenly matched.

From a Munster perspective, if you look at the teamsheet, you'd expect them to be dominating more.

Richie Murphy will be really, really pleased.

The Ulster back five have been having involvements. It's been a really good 34 minutes.

Some sloppy play from both teams as nobody can find touch until Will Addison does with a terrible shank into the stand.

Frank Murphy is taking no nonsense from either team tonight as he marched Ulster back ten metres for having a little bit too much to say on a prior penalty.

Eight remaining in the Thomond Park sunshine.

Scintillating hands from Munster as they go coast to coast and make it from the halfway line to the five metre line. However, a late loose pass ruins the move and saves Ulster's scrambling defence.

Ulster get their noses in front thanks to Cooney's fairly routine penalty. Richie Murphy will be delighted with his side's response to going behind.

A penalty in front of the sticks as Ulster fail to take advantage after a Sean O'Brien offside. John Cooney is teeing the ball up to put his side ahead.

Alan O'Connor is the latest Ulster player to leave the field. This time for an HIA as Matty Rea is on at least temporarily.

This Ulster maul is a weapon.

They've relied on it a lot over the last couple of seasons and it has to be respected.

There are going to be those opportunities to pounce and those guys at the back of the maul are so good at knowing when to pounce.

A quarter of an hour gone and Ulster are starting to feel their way back into the game with some decent continuity.

Some big hits going in from both sides on a warm summer's evening which will be tough!

The hosts are dominating the ball and forcing Ulster into a lot of defensive work. However, they are game for it so far and have a bit of possession after a David McCann interception in midfield.

The afore-mentioned Snyman may well have reached the line with a stretch after some dogged Ulster defence. The TMO is having a look.

Harry Sheridan has been outstanding and I'd have a question mark around why he hasn't been starting.

But to lose one of your older heads in Treadwell, is another blow for Ulster.

After the two late pre-match changes, more disruption for Ulster as Kieran Treadwell limps off on five minutes to be replaced by Harry Sheridan.

You've got to say, Munster are quite lucky there.

Another referee on another day could have thought that was quite dangerous.
