Munster finally get the win over Leinster at the RDS in a 27 points to three win for the southern province. It was a great performance from the men in red, albeit a weakened Leinster side as they save some of their big players for the Semi-final of European next week against Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle.

That decision is beyond harsh. 90% of rucks are cleared with a shoulder to shoulder action. If you blew every time an exaggerated wrapping action wasn't made, there would be 70 penalties per match at the breakdown alone. #LEIvMUN

This is just superb work from Munster. O’Mahony won the turnover, Beirne spread the ball from the ruck, Carbery found De Allende, and everything from there was World Class Shit.
Those feints from De Allende to sell each step of the break, Murray’s inside line – nice. #LEIvMUN pic.twitter.com/jxhgpfJxGJ
