Munster have started the season with seven wins in a row thanks to a dominant bonus-point victory over Zebre at Thomond Park on Monday night.
The province are now 16 points clear at the top of Guinness PRO14 Conference B, although third-placed Connacht do have two games in hand.

Hanrahan was named Guinness Player of the Match after an excellent display.
A late change to the Munster side saw Academy lock Ahern make his first start as a groin strain ruled out Fineen Wycherley with Tommy O’Donnell added to the replacements.
A superb JJ chip over the top was finished off by Goggin for the first try on eight minutes with Zebre replying through a Paolo Pescetto penalty five minutes later.
Matt Gallagher looked to have scored the second try off another JJ chip but he knocked on before touching down and had to be replaced after landing awkwardly on his shoulder.
Sweetnam moved to full-back with Seán French coming on for his debut on the wing after 20 minutes.
The province were in again when Coombes offloaded for de Allende to score from close-range.
The Munster pack were dominant in the scrum and a rolling maul led to a penalty try after 36 minutes with Lorenzo Masselli shown a yellow card.
Goggin burst through a gap in midfield just before the break and passed for the supporting Sweetnam to secure the bonus-point try to make it 28-3 at half-time.
Hanrahan scored the try of the match on 43 minutes as he played a superb one-two with Goggin and then another one-two with Nick McCarthy before diving over.
De Allende scored his second minutes later but the try was chalked off as Jack O’Donoghue was adjudged to have obstructed in the build-up.
Munster scored their sixth try on 56 minutes as a brilliant Coombes offload released Hanrahan and he passed for French to finish expertly in the left corner for his debut try.
Replacement Craig Casey and Ahern scored late on to cap off the victory with Ahern’s score his first try for the province.
