Munster claimed a comprehensive 35-11 win, with the home side notching up five tries in the game.  First on the score sheet was David Kilcoyne (Ardscoil Ris), with the conversion from Thomonds Declan Cusack.  Rockwell Colleges Willie Devane claimed Munsters second try which was again converted by Cusack.  Before half time, Munsters third try was scored by Brian Derham (Cork Constitution/PBC), with an on form Cusack again adding the extras.  USAs only score of the first half came from a penalty which was converted by Hamish Roberts.  The half time score saw Munster lead 21-3.

After the break, full back Sean Scanlon from Crescent College Comprehensive crossed the line for Munsters fourth try, which was converted by Cusack, while PBCs Niall Barry scored Munsters final try which was converted by CBCs Robbie ODonoghue.  USAs only reply was penalty kicked by Hamish Roberts and a last minute try from Sean Pitman.  The final score saw Munster having a comfortable 35-11 win, however, the experience of such a competitive game will surely stand to the USA team as they begin their World Championship campaign.  First up for the USA is Russia on April 4th.
