LEO Cullen acknowledged that Leinster's risky business in terms of selection came up short in the URC semi-final.
But he insisted his squad must move on quickly with their biggest game of the season only a week away against La Rochelle.
The Blues boss made nine changes from the Champions Cup semi-final against Toulouse for last week's URC quarter-final against the Sharks - and a further seven for this deserved 16-15 defeat to Munster, as close as it was.

Cullen admitted that Leinster's 10 penalty concessions to Munster's five was a problem.
But, having watched his side come within two minutes of making the final, he added: "The challenge with some of the selection is around some of the cohesion. We knew we were taking a bit of a risk with that.
"We talked about the challenge of trying to fight on two fronts and unfortunately we have come unstuck with it today.
"For us, now, we can’t dwell on it too much. That’s the reality. We can’t dwell on it this week because we’re out again next weekend against La Rochelle here.
"They will be desperate to retain their trophy so it’s two teams going hard at it again and hopefully it will be a great occasion.
"That’s what we have to look forward to now. There are lots of things in that game that we can be better at but it’s over now. You’ve got to give Munster credit. They stuck to it right to the end.”
