Munster boss Johann van Graan is not buying into the narrative that Leinster are suddenly fallible ahead of Saturday’s visit to Thomond Park.

Munster should have faced their arch-rivals on December 26 only for the game to be postponed over Covid-19 fears and since then the Guinness PRO14 champions, chasing a fourth title in a row, were beaten for the first time in 26 league games over the festive season when they suffered an upset 35-24 defeat at home to Connacht on January 2.
