La Rochelle No.8 Victor Vito said he had talked with Johnny Sexton about the Leinster set-up.

Peter O’Mahony was unequivocal when the question arose two weeks ago. The Munster captain had three weeks previously suffered a PRO14 final defeat to Leinster, his fourth successive knockout loss to the boys in blue and a sixth in a row to the old enemy. Surely, in spite of the strongly held opinion of the need to continue doing things the “Munster way”, there were things the men in red could take from the dominant province?

Not a bit of it, O’Mahony replied.
