Leo Cullen: 'We had more chances but they took theirs better so plenty for us to work on"

Leo Cullen didn’t look or sound like a man despondent after a one-point loss that could just as easily have been another imperfect win. Instead, it’s a home defeat to a local rival and one that threw up some issues old and new.

We’ve long since stopped reading much into Leinster wins this early in the season. Sweeping aside all-comers in mid-term has not equated to silverware come the spring this last two seasons after all, so what does defeat here tell us?

How much should we read into it?
