Peter O’Mahony: Munster must create own path to silverware

Peter O’Mahony needs no reminding of Leinster’s recent superiority over his Munster team but in spite of six straight defeats to their arch-rivals, the captain says the province must continue down their own path to find the solution.

The latest test of whether the men in red are any closer to finding the answers necessary to overcoming the four-in-a-row PRO14 champions will come in Dublin on Saturday when Munster will return to the RDS for a Guinness Rainbow Cup opener just a month after the latest setback to their nemesis, the 16-6 PRO14 final defeat that was more one-sided than the scoreline suggests.
