Garry Ringrose has disputed a change in the Leinster-Munster dynamic following the Reds’ URC semi-final victory at Aviva Stadium last season, insisting the southern province have always has had unbelievable respect from the Boys in Blue.

Leinster will welcome Munster back to the Aviva on Saturday evening for the first time since Jack Crowley’s late drop goal consigned Ringrose and company to an early exit in the competition in which they had reigned supreme throughout the regular season.
