    Calvin Nash

    Calvin Nash at the double.

    The initial break comes from Diarmuid Barron, who steps around Tommy Freeman. The ball then goes wide and Nash pops up again to dive over.

    It was a beautiful dive, loads of hang time. You can tell he scores a fair bit.

    Another booming clearance from Jack Crowley, who is having a great game to push forward his Six Nations starting chances. As it stands, Munster will seal a home last 16. Too early for that chat?

    An easy one for a man of Jack Crowley's quality.

    Clermont Auvergne 5-0 Bristol

    Just over 20 minutes gone and Bristol trail Clermont Auvergne after wing Alex Newsome motored over in the corner to score the opening try.

    That score came moments after Bears fly-half Harry Byrne was sent to the sin-bin for a cynical offside as the visitors were stretched to the limit in defence.

    Bristol need to dig in with their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage in the balance.

    Calvin Nash (con Jack Crowley)

    What a finish!

    Calvin Nash races onto a box kick over the top by Conor Murray. The Ireland wing knees it and then regathers to score a try out of nowhere.

    Classy stuff.

    Northampton 0-0 Munster

    Jack Crowley helps strip the ball from his opposite man Fin Smith. Both fly-halves don't mind the physical side of things, which makes things extra juicy between the pair.
