Despite a brief response from Benetton through a penalty from Jacob Umaga and a try from Bautista Bernasconi, the home side struggled to keep pace. Munster continued their onslaught with tries from Gavin Coombes, Jean Kleyn, and Alex Kendellen, all supported by Crowley's excellent kicking. The game saw Jack Crowley and Craig Casey receive yellow cards, but Munster鈥檚 lead was never in jeopardy.
