Madigan: No celebrations after win over Munster

Leinster’s Ian Madigan insists there was nothing to celebrate last night at the Aviva Stadium.

The number 10 hit 17 points from his boot as Leinster saw off Munster in the big derby in the Pro 12, Brian O’Driscoll also scored a try.

It was quite a comeback from Matt O’Connor’s side after Munster took a 0-9 lead in the first 25 minutes.

Leinster now set their sights on next week’s huge Heineken Cup quarter final away at Toulon.

Madigan says his side need to be able to back up their performance from last night with an even better one next Sunday.

He said: “There was no celebration in our dressing room, a few lads pat each-other on the back saying well done, Its all about bringing that performance onto next week.

“Our focus this week was to beat Munster but we knew it was crucial to be going to Toulon on the back of a win and you have to go down there with confidence or you won’t stand a chance.

“I think both sides can take a lot of confidence out of that, Munster came out really well, even when they were chasing the game I thought they played some really good rugby.

“I’m sure they will take a lot of confidence heading into their game with Toulouse, I knew before the game it was going to come down to a score and if we meet again in the season I feel it will be the same.”
