With a 2 man advantage it doesn't take Munster long to capitalise. O'Mahony picks from the base of a ruck and crashes over from 2m.
'Doesn't get any more cynical then that' says the referee as he bins Groves for intentionally collapsing a maul heading for the Dragons' line. Correct decision.
The TMO decides that the stamp was on the shoulder region meaning the card is only yellow.
Munster turn the ball over after working well together to complete a choke tackle. Coombs could be in trouble now after a suspected stamp on Varley's head.
Talei and Wardle down receiving treatment after colliding after attempting to gather the restart.
Superb start from Cronin, Varley and Ryan, they coordinate a strong drive to win the ball against the head at a scrum just outside the Dragons 22. Great start to the 2nd half.
HT here in Cork and James Cronin's try is all that separates the two sides. Munster have looked to use the high ball to exploit the inexperience of the Dragons back-line, and have gotten good change in doing so. The Dragons haven't offered much going forward out wide but have marshaled Zebo well down the right hand side. Penny will look for more of the same from his troops in the second half, hoping to secure a 4th win from 5 this season. Second half to follow.
Zebo with a terribly sliced kick straight into a Dragons player. Luckily for him Conway was on hand to mop but his mistake.
Murphy eared Munster some territory with a well judged kick. Peter O'Mahony nicked the ensuing line-out and broke to 7m from the Dragons' line. 2 phases later James Cronin received a pop from Sheridan to crash over for the games first try.
Dragons going side to side, not many options so Burton takes a shot with a drop goal but it's to the right and wide.
