Leinster go to the maul and have a penalty for Archer in the side. Visitors still on the attack and earn another penalty for offside in midfield. Head injury in the background to Peter O'Mahony. Looks rather worrying but have yet to see a replay
Why?
Munster go wide off first phase but are pinged at the breakdown for holding on. Leinster go down the line to within ten of the hosts' line.
Sloppy stuff from Leinster combined with some good pressure from Munster earns the home side a scrum on halfway. All the momentum with the home side
Maul dropped. Munster advantage but they won't need it after a pinpoint crossfield kick from Keatley finds Earls who finishes superbly to beat Rob Kearney in the corner. This game has shot to life in the last 2 minutes. Credit must go to skipper O'Mahony for the decision to go to the corner
Keatley does brlliantly well to spot a gap in the chasing Leinster line. Chips ahead and regathers his own ball just 2m short of the line. Madigan comes in at the side cynically and earns himself ten minutes in the bin. Munster go to the 5m lineout. Maul imminent
This time its Leinster penalised at the scrum. From 40 out Keatley will have a pop at the sticks. Monsieur Poite not exactly providing too much clarity through his chat with the two captains but nevertheless he's the man with the whistle
Turnover Munster inside their own 22. Keatley will clear the lines for a Munster lineout just on halfway.
Not much in the way of enterprising play here after 25 minutes. Both sides struggling to get any sort of rhythm to their game. Leinster's new centre pairing not exactly looking overly creative. Some bright sparks from Munster, with Williams providing good service from the base. Leinster scrum here, middle of the park, 35 out from Munster line
Archer pinged at scrum for dropping it. Madigan for three more surely
