Munster fortress crumbles to Leinster

CORK’S reputation as a Munster rugby fortress crumbled last night as Leinster ended their 22-year hoodoo on Rebel territory.

For the first time since 1985 the “ladyboys” of Leinster came to Cork and beat Munster, stuffing their foes 10-3 and claiming bragging rights.

Last night’s clash was reckoned to be all about settling dressing-room scores from Ireland’s dismal Rugby World Cup campaign this summer.
