No stopping Munster march as Lions mauled

Munster 30 Leinster 6

Yesterday, at Lansdowne Road, they battered their Irish brethren, Leinster, into submission with a quality all-round performance and reaped the inevitable dividend of a third final appearance in six years.

They qualified to meet French dynamos Biarritz with a degree to spare, and if the final scoreline may have been slightly flattering, the victory was totally deserved.
