Munster brought an end to a run of three straight United Rugby Championship defeats with a 19-10 victory over Lions at Thomond Park.
The Irish team’s interim boss Ian Costello took charge of an URC game for the first time following the departure last month of Graham Rowntree.
Munster moved in front thanks to a converted Thaakir Abrahams try before the South African visitors hit back.
Henco Vab Wyk went over for a converted try and Kade Wolhuter’s penalty gave Lions a 10-7 lead at the break.
Shane Daly added a second try for Munster just two minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute.
Alex Kendellan touched down for another Munster try on 53 minutes as the Limerick men secured a much-needed win.
