Leinster’s URC win over Munster attracted a larger television audience than Waterford’s Allianz Hurling League Division One final victory over Cork on Saturday evening.

Leo Cullen’s side secured a 34-19 bonus-point win over their hosts at Thomond Park, a result which pushed them 10 points clear at the top of the table with three games remaining before the end of season play-offs.
