Determined Leinster prevail as Munster fightback falls short

Leinster 22 Munster 17: Munster A produced a strong second-half showing at Donnybrook Stadium last night, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a reversal at the hands of Leinster A in their opening game of the Interprovincial Series.

The visitors had made a bright start, but it was Leinster who eventually broke the deadlock 14 minutes in.

Scrum-half Nick McCarthy embarked on a memorable run towards the right-flank, and after collecting his precise offload, full-back Billy Dardis touched down with consummate ease.
