Munster Rugby secured a convincing 21-7 victory over Zebre Parma at Thomond Park. Shane Daly opened the scoring with an early try, converted by JJ Hanrahan. Zebre's Giulio Bertaccini was shown a yellow card shortly after, which put them at a disadvantage. Bautista Stavile managed to score for Zebre, bringing them within reach at halftime. Munster's Alex Kendellen and Lee Barron added further tries in the second half, both converted by Hanrahan. The home side's strong defense kept Zebre at bay, limiting them to a single try.
