Matt Gallagher was the first to score a try for the Reds after 18 minutes of play.

A try from Craig Casey followed, however Benetton responded with a score to put them just 7 behind Munster at the break.

A second half try from Simon Zebo pushed Munster ahead even further and the Reds refused to look back from there.

A Gavin Commbes effort followed by a Ben Healy conversion saw Munster secure the bonus point leading Benetton 37-15.

Jack O'Sullivan and Damian de Allende got themselves on the scoreboard for Munster before Benetton got a last ditch try to round out the victory.
