Johann van Graan admitted his Munster team had been second best and Leinster too good as he tasted another home defeat to the province’s arch rivals at Thomond Park on Saturday night.

Without playing badly Munster were outgunned in this United Rugby Championship derby as Leinster outscored their hosts by four tries to one to register a bonus-point victory that takes them 10 points clear at the top of the table with three games remaining before the end of season play-offs.
