Strokosh with a big carry, Perpignan in the 22 now.

Solid opening lineout for the visitors, currently just outside the Munster 22.

Perpignan looking to get a foothold in the game, Lopez with a long penalty into Munster territory, line out to come.

TRY MUNSTER! The home side off to a flyer, Johne Murphy claims a loose kick and runs it back, releasing Murray down the wing. Murray pops it back inside to Murphy, who draws the last man to put Dougall over for a fantastic opening score. Keatley adds the extras.

Keatley tries a dink through, Ecochard cleans up.

Really poor clearence from Lopez, Earls bursts on to the ball, Munster in the 22 early on here.

Keatley gets us underway with a deep kick off.

Minutes applause in respect of Nelson Mandela, so slight delay to kick off.

Teams out on the pitch, kick off imminent.

Dry but cold at Thomond park for the early kick off today, hopefully see a bit of running rugby.
