Arno Botha scored a hat-trick as Munster recorded their biggest Pro14 win with a 68-3 hammering of sorry Southern Kings on Friday.
The Irish province crossed for a team-record 10 tries against the South African side, powerhouse forward Botha touching down twice in the first half either side of a Calvin Nash score at Thomond Park.
Jack O'Donoghue also dotted down before half-time and John Hodnett registered a debut try shortly after the restart, while Neil Cronin, Shane Daly and Dan Goggin all went over.
Arno had his hat-trick with five minutes remaining and Daly scored a second as Munster moved top of Conference B.
