The inquest into Munster’s Champions Cup pool defeat at Exeter Chiefs was conducted at their High Performance Centre yesterday as Graham Rowntree’s men looked ahead to a season-defining month and a challenging series of matches in both Europe and the URC.

Next Tuesday’s St Stephen’s night derby against Leinster at Thomond Park looms large as Munster’s URC title defence resumes, with another interpro, at Connacht, six days later on January 1, also coming hard into view.
