Immanuel Feyi-Waboso scored a sensational solo try on his return from injury as Exeter Chiefs beat Munster to reach the Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

Exeter took full advantage of a sloppy first half from the visitors, with Henry Slade and Will Rigg scoring from interceptions, after Ross Vintcent's opening score.

Feyi-Waboso then weaved his way through half the Munster defence to give Chiefs a 31-0 lead at the break.

Munster mounted periods of concerted pressure in the second half, and Jack Crowley's two tries briefly threatened a comeback, but Exeter's famed defence held firm.
