One win does not a season make but Munster will face Leinster this weekend with confidence restored following Saturday’s bonus-point victory over the Bulls.

That will not strike fear into the hearts and minds of the team waiting to greet them at Aviva Stadium this Saturday evening, even if it seems likely that Leinster will be without three key members of their backline in Ireland trio Jamison Gibson-Park, Hugo Keenan and James Lowe for the BKT United Rugby Championship derby.
