13 Tom Farrell: Another who was busy on the ball but without the reward that would have been hoped for, as Munster\u2019s attack was collectively off. 5<\/p>\n
12 Alex Nankivell: His attitude on his 50th appearance couldn\u2019t be faulted; check out his try-saving intervention just minutes in. But his usually reliable technique didn\u2019t carry on from there. Was involved in the mess for the Henry Slade try, and then had the ball ripped from him on the floor for the Feyi-Waboso try that left Munster<\/a> exiting at break 31-0 down. 5<\/p>\n Exeter Chiefs v Munster: Five takeaways as \u2018box-office\u2019 Immanuel Feyi-Waboso dominates to compound Irish giant\u2019s woes<\/a><\/p>\n 11 Thaakir Abrahams: The potential end-of-season departure didn\u2019t feature here at all. Whereas Feyi-Waboso, the Exeter<\/a> No.11, left would-be tacklers clutching air and did enough in his 46 minutes to earn the player of the match award, Munster\u2019s South African offered nothing in attack. Even in the 78th minute, there was a turnover given up. 4<\/p>\n 10 Jack Crowley: Tried to follow up on last weekend\u2019s excellent show of leadership<\/a> in Pretoria with a half-decent start. That evaporated as quickly as his team collectively went down the plug hole in the derisory second part of the first half, but he recalibrated after the interval to individually save face with tries on 50 and 76 minutes. 7<\/p>\n 9 Craig Casey: He\u2019s the sort of guy you want in a team going forward, but not in one going backwards. By the time he became an influence in the second half, producing moments such as an excellent 50:22, the result was long beyond Munster as Stephen Varney was the pick of the nines. 5<\/p>\n Want more from Planet Rugby?

Let\u2019s just say it\u2019s been quite the comedown since that infamous salute to the crowd when beating Leinster in the URC last October. 5<\/p>\n 7 Alex Kendellen: Tried to carry, but his impact was irrelevant. Let\u2019s just say that in Italian international Ross Vintcent that Exeter had by far the way better No.7. 5<\/p>\n 6 Jack O\u2019Donoghue: Looked leggy, played leggy but was allowed to play on despite the multiple changes taking place early in the second half. Munster\u2019s moniker is \u2018Stand Up and Fight\u2019 but too many, such as O\u2019Donoghue, are standing up and fighting in matches long after the substantial damage has been sustained on the scoreboard. This was another example. 5<\/p>\n 5 Tadhg Beirne (c): Similar to Crowley, he tried to provide oomph in the early stages. There was a superb poach to alleviate an early siege and then a canny deflection to deny Exeter a third try on 24 minutes. There was a try scored on 69 minutes with Chiefs having just copped a yellow card, but Beirne received one himself just five minutes later for a deliberate knock-on to cap his team\u2019s frustrating defeat. 6<\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Player-ratings-image-1.jpg\")
