Highlights: Munster hold off Ulster in opening interpro
Alana McInerney's first-half hat-trick of tries helped Munster hold off a battling Ulster 29-22 in the opening Women's Interpro at Virgin Media Park in Cork.
Munster looked in control as wing McInerney's first two touchdowns - either side of a Chloe Pearse try - put them 17-0 up by the 18th minute.
Ulster debutant Tara O'Neill's score cut Munster's lead but McInerney completed her hat-trick to re-establish a 17-point advantage for the home side by the interval as they led 22-5.
However, the home side needed a sensational second-half try from their other wing Chisom Ugwueru to maintain their lead as India Daley, Lucy Thompson and Brittany Hogan touched down for the visitors.
