Leinster forwards coach Robin McBryde has apologised for what he says was his failure to prepare the province’s pack properly for last Friday night’s URC-opening 35-0 defeat to the Stormers in Pretoria.

The reigning champions were nilled for the first time in 17 years and basically beaten all ends up. It started up front where they were destroyed in the scrum, at lineout and in the battle of the breakdown.
