O’Sullivan came up with a big jackal on Stuart Hogg to give Munster a rare attacking opportunity with Healy kicking into the Exeter 22 but the hosts spoiled the lineout. John Hodnett came up with a big jackal on 17 minutes in the Munster 22 before Alex Kendellen, on his first European start, was harshly pinged at the breakdown on 23 minutes with Exeter going to the corner.
