Munster boss van Graan 'incredibly disappointed' as home quarter-final hopes disappear

Leinster, already assured of top spot in the URC final standings, had rested their entire first XV ahead of next Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup final

GOTCHA: Munster's Joey Carbery is stopped in his tracks by Rory O'Loughlin of Leinster. 

Johann van Graan bemoaned his side’s lack of a clinical edge as Munster missed out on a home United Rugby Championship quarter-final by losing to a second-string Leinster in Dublin on Saturday night.

Munster needed to defeat their arch-rivals with a four-try bonus-point to climb into second spot behind Leinster and ensure they would play their URC play-off matches at Thomond Park but their 35-25 loss at Aviva Stadium meant they finished sixth in the final standings and must now travel to Belfast on June 4 for their last-eight knockout game.
