It took Munster just six minutes to produce a response to Zane Kirchner's opening try for Leinster at Thomond Park.
The South Africa took advantage of a slip in the Munster midfield to put Leinster ahead after 17 minutes. Isa Nacewa knocked over the extras to give Leinster a 7-0 lead.
In the 23rd minute, Simon Zebo touched down after some patient phases by Munster close to the Leinster line.
It was a special finish too by the Munster fullback as he pirouetted through the tackles of Barry Daly and Jamison Gibson-Park.
That is a ridiculous piece of skill from Zebo to stay in play & get that down. #MUNvLEI

Some work from Simon Zebo, ably assisted by Conor Murray.

After some deliberations from Nigel Owens and his TMO, it was decided that Zebo had indeed kept his feet in touch.
Tyler Bleyendaal would kick the conversion to made it seven points a piece.
