Johann van Graan admitted JJ Hanrahan’s two second-half penalty misses were crucial as Munster paid the price for missed opportunities as Leinster capitalised on theirs to progress to next week’s Guinness PRO14 final.

Munster fly-half Hanrahan, who had been awarded the PRO14’s Golden Boot earlier in the week as the league’s top points scorer at the end of the regular season, kicked his 17th successful kick in a row on Friday night to give his side an early 3-0 semi-final lead over their interprovincial rivals at Aviva Stadium.
