Captain Seamus Callanan led by example as Munster comfortably overcame Ulster in Semple Stadium today.

The Premier County star pick-pocketed the visitors to the tune of 1-7 and their reward is a final showdown with Leinster.

The scoreboard read Munster 3-21, Ulster 0-15 at the final whistle and Michael Breen and Stephen Bennett also netted for Anthony Daly's side.

Munster enjoyed a 1-9 to 1-7 advantage at the break thanks to Breen's 3rd minute goal while Callanan raised a green flag in the 40th minute.

Ulster's woes were compounded when Waterford ace Bennett pounced for his side's third goal in stoppage time.
