The TV cameras caught Conor Murray at the worst moment.
Jean Kleyn had an injury-hampered first season at Munster but, fit and healthy again, he vowed to make a difference in the new campaign.

The South African lock was definitely pumped up for the first Guinness PRO14 game of the season, at Musgrave Park, and he delivered in spades. Kleyn got two tries as last season’s league runners up beat Benetton Treviso 34-3.
There were six tries in total for Munster as Alex Wooton, Andrew Conway, Tyler Bleyendaal and Darren Sweetnam all got in for first half tries.
Rassie Erasmus’ men were able to see off the Italians without the Irish backline trio of Conor Murray, Keith Earls and Simon Zebo, who were sitting in the stands at the Cork ground.
With Munster comfortably on top, Murray turned his attentions to his phone and was busy on that when he was caught on the ground’s big screen and on live TV. Zebo was quick as you like to scold his teammate before himself, Murray and Earls all broke down laughing.
Watch the game man 😡😂🌝 @ConorMurray_9 pic.twitter.com/woJXQhZEtK

One hopes Erasmus and the Munster coaching staff let Murray off as lightly for switching off, ever so slightly, during a big game.
Two burns in two days for Zebo on Murray.
Following the game, it was great to see the Munster lads taking time out to meet and greet their faithful fans.
