Munster handed Ulster a fifth consecutive loss in all competitions with a 22-19 bonus-point victory at Kingspan Stadium.
The victory sees Munster, who are still without a permanent head coach after Graham Rowntree's departure last month, leapfrog Ulster in the United Rugby Championship table and climb all the way up to fifth.Coming in off the back of four losses, Ulster will have sought a quick start to restore some confidence and got just that with a try after just seven minutes.
Munster shipped six penalties in the first 20 minutes, while their line-out malfunctioned in a pair of big spots. Crowley's conversion drifted wide to keep Ulster ahead but the southern province were soon handed all the momentum when O'Toole was shown red for a dangerous clear-out on Munster centre Alex Nankivell ten minutes from the break.
The hosts were still dominating possession and, after another prolonged spell of pressure, Munster's Rory Scannell was sent to the sin bin for an accumulation of Munster penalties.
