First penalty of the game goes in favour of Munster for an infringement on the floor at the breakdown.

Odiete drops the ball in contact and Munster counter attack.

Munster lose possession off their line out and Zebre go on the attack from deep in their own half.

Much better kick this time by Hanrahan, putting Zebre under pressure with a line out deep inside their 22.

Poor kick in behind by Hanrahan gives Zebre possession, allowing Odiete to clear the ball.

First scrum of the game and it's Munster's put in. Superb hands from the base of the scrum allow the visitors to get the ball out wide to Howard.

Munster stay strong in defense and use the choke tackle to great effect, earning the turnover and the chance for Keatley to relieve the pressure.

Zebre go on the attack from the start, building up phases in an attempt to break Munster's defense early.

Kick off! Ian Keatley gets us underway at the XXV Aprile Stadium.

Both sides make their way onto the field. Kick off to follow shortly.
