"If he goes well in the first few months of this season, well then he might be in the reckoning."Zebo certainly provided the perfect response to that Farrell omission with a superb comeback game for Munster. He was quieter in the second half - making four more carries - but he still found time for another score, late in the piece. Craig Casey got Munster's second try after a sniping run and step inside, over on the right wing. Gavin Coombes then powered over from close range to make it 20-3 at the break. Another Coombes try, from close in, made it 27-3, and secured the bonus point. On 57 minutes, though, a floated Joey Carbery pass to Dan Goggin was picked off by Sharks scrumhalf Boeta Chamberlain to give them an intercept try that kept them in the fight. Munster fans were soon raucous enough as Snyman returned after a long-term knee injury and sub Ben Healy nailed a penalty from inside his own half. The small contingent of Sharks fans were cheering, too, when Yaw Penxe was put away, down the left wing, and cut inside Mike Haley to dive over. The killer blow from Munster, though, arrived on 77 minutes when sub flanker Chris Cloete crashed over from close range after a sustained spell of pressure. Just when the Sharks thought their long night was over, Munster cracked out the move of the night, sweeping right to left, before Zebo finished off a lovely Dan Goggin grubber. Elsewhere on the night, Leinster secured a bonus point victory over the Bulls at Dublin's Aviva Stadium. Josh van der Flier grabbed an excellent try to get Leinster motoring and the try-scoring bonus was secured, with 10 minutes to go, when Ross Byrne finished off a fine team try. Our Man of the Match: Gavin Coombes (Munster)
