Munster's past semi-final losses irrelevant says Rowntree

Back-to-back Guinness PRO14 semi-final defeats to Leinster are irrelevant as far as Munster are concerned, Graham Rowntree declared as preparations ramped up for Friday’s last-four clash at Aviva Stadium.

Leinster’s bid for three-in-a-row titles will require a third straight semi-final victory over their southern rivals having conquered Johann van Graan’s side 16-15 in May 2018 and 24-9 12 months later, both at the RDS.
