Munster's Heineken Champions Cup campaign is off to a losing start.

In heavy fog at Thomond Park, they suffered an 18-13 defeat to Toulouse.

Joey Carbery scored all 13 of Munster's points, including a first-half try.

Head coach Graham Rowntree says they had opportunities to win the game.

Ulster also got off to an underwhelming start, as they slumped to a 39-0 defeat to Sale Sharks.

They take on the holders, La Rochelle, next week.
