Leinster defeat a 'reality check' for us, says Stander as Erasmus laments 'simple errors'

CJ Stander has described Munster's 25-14 Guinness PRO12 defeat to Leinster this afternoon as a "reality check" ahead of the province's opening Champions Cup engagement away to Racing 92 next week, writes Brendan O'Brien of the Irish Examiner.

The Rassie Erasmus era had delivered four wins and just one defeat prior to this derby encounter but the southern province fell away disappointingly after the interval and left Dublin with no points and numerous regrets.
