A Leinster win was the outcome most expected after the teamsheets were released this evening, and so it proved.
Yet this young Munster made a real fight of this latest meeting of the provincial rivals at the Aviva Stadium before they were eventually out-gunned by the URC's early pace-setters, who picked up a winning bonus point in the 77th minute.
An entertaining, chaotic clash was played out in front of a 45,436 crowd that included Ireland boss Andy Farrell.
