Munster returned to winning ways in the BKT United Rugby Championship, bouncing back from last week's defeat to Ulster with a gritty 10-3 win against the Stormers in Limerick Just under six months on from their nail-biting URC final in Cape Town, this was a much different kind of game between the sides, with both teams struggling to deal with the conditions at a windy and sometimes rainy Thomond Park.

In a game with so few attacking opportunities, it was a day for the kickers and Jack Crowley continued his impressive growth in a Munster shirt.

The out-half was Player of the Match as he impressively managed Munster’s game in difficult conditions, while making both of his shots at goal.

His penalty after just under a quarter of an hour got them on the board, before he converted Edwin Edogbo’s try just before half time.
