Leinster not engaging in blame game after Thomond Park loss

It may have been an evening marked by rancour but this latest meeting of Munster and Leinster was bookmarked with brief moments of levity on the part of the visitors despite their frustrations and a rare defeat.

It started with Cian Healy emerging on his own to a warm ovation from the home crowd on the occasion of his 200th cap for Leinster. So warm that it clearly caught the Irish prop by surprise if his wry grin was anything to go by.
