It finished Leinster 23-34 Munster as Matt O’Connor’s side failed to turn the tables late on.

Tries from James Cronin, Robin Copeland and Ian Keatley saw Munster storm into a 28-9 lead over their biggest rivals by half-time, but indiscipline from the visitors saw Leinster come back into it late on.

Darragh Fanning and a penalty try saw Leinster at least put up a fight to Munster in the closing stages, but ultimately Foley’s men were too strong and had done all the hard work in a devastating first half performance.

Anthony Foley’s men rise to fourth in the standings, with Leinster down in sixth.
