Leinster flex muscles to expose Munster

GOODBYE Munster, hello Leinster.

For the fourth successive meeting between the sides, Leinster bullied, controlled and subjugated their southern rivals to such an extent that no argument remains about which is the dominant force in the Irish game.

Leinster are miles ahead as Munster have the appearance of a side that has shot its bolt, many of its star men old and arguably past their sell-by date as top-class rugby players, its newcomers still short of the required standard.
