Leinster v Munster | The Forward Battle
- 197
The Leinster pack ultimately won bragging rights in the game but they had to work exceptionally hard for it. The first 40 saw the Munster pack outplay their opponents particularily in open play as they beat them to the breakdown on many occasions. Munster as a whole were a thorn in the side of a rusty looking Leinster side that were trying to get into a rhythum and get a foothold in the game.
A VERY bold tactic from @leinsterrugby getting a 16th man in the form of unsuspecting ref Andrew Brace 👀 Catch all the action LIVE on Premier Sports 📺 #BKTURC #URC | #LEIvMUN https://t.co/9yqBCXUsVM

The second half changed things as the Leinster scrum started to purr but mist noticeable was periods of high intensity and good hands as they spotted weakness in the opposition and got the big blue machine turning over. The set piece dominant and the Munster pack running on fumes saw Leinster pull away and secure a bonus point win
