With handling made difficult by the persistent downpour, the Lions were able to build pressure through their scrummaging prowess but though they eked several penalties during a 10-minute siege which began with a Healy knock-on, Munster survived with their goal line intact and then punished the visitors failure to score by adding a second try on 29 minutes. In Cork six days later, his 30th minute conversion opened a 12-3 lead Munster were able to take into the half-time break. It was a ruck penalty that allowed them to score the opening points, however, as fly-half Jordan Hendrikse kicked the Lions into a 3-0 lead after four minutes.

Scrum-half Paddy Patterson added a third 10 minutes into the second half before late tries from Liam Coombes and Buckley again completed the win.
