Munster aim to put squeeze on Blues

Peter O’Mahony sat back and admired the way Leinster found a way to win their fourth European title but Munster’s captain believes his side have to emulate Racing 92’s attempts to shut down Leo Cullen’s side to cause an upset this weekend.

With their search for a first trophy in seven years hanging in the balance in Saturday’s Guinness PRO14 semi-final at the RDS, as Leinster close in on a Champions Cup-league double, O’Mahony could not help but take note of the way their rivals were knocked out of their stride in Bilbao last Saturday.

The Frenchmen kept Leinster tryless, shackling their expansive ambitions and reducing the game to an arm wrestle, only a missed drop goal from replacement fly-half Remi Tales preventing extra-time.
