Munster v Leinster: Much has changed since these old enemies last locked horns

It's a pity Monday's meeting between Munster and Leinster wasn't the other way around, for the sold out signs would be up in Lansdowne Road in the same way as they are up in Thomond Park - and twice as many supporters would get to witness a game so full of promise. We can't remember the last time this Christmas get-together had so much going for it.
