The Guinness Pro14 weekend has kicked off with a bang at the Cardiff Arms Park, where visitors Munster have scored two of four tries in the opening 17 minutes, both coming from Andrew Conway.
Having gone behind to a Nick Williams try in the eighth minute, a Chris Cloete turnover inside the Munster half led to a blistering break from Andrew Conway to put the away side on the board in the tenth.

Minutes later following the restart Joey Carbery got in on the action with an outstanding take under pressure before slicing through the oncoming pack and running close to the length of the field to bring Munster back into a try scoring position.

Less than a minute later, with the Munster attack moving across field Carbery's delightfully lobbed pass opened up the corner for Andrew Conway to touch down again for his second try just three minutes after his first.

Unfortunately for Johann Van Graan's side they were behind again minutes later after a Tomos Williams try was converted to give the Blues a 14-10 lead, before Carbery kicked a penalty before half-time to reduce the deficit to a point.
Quite the opening half for Munster with Andrew Conway and Joey Carbery turning on the style.
