Denis Leamy has declared Munster’s determination to show some “resilience” in the face of a lengthy injury list as they face up to a Christmas meeting with a Leinster team he described as “brilliantly boring”.

Munster currently have no less than 20 players on this week’s injury update with three players – Thaakir Abrahams (shoulder), Craig Casey (knee) and Jean Kleyn (thigh) – all confirmed on Monday as being ruled out for the next four months.
