Prendergast named player of the match

"It was my first experience playing against Munster at senior level, and playing down here and it was some atmosphere. 

"It was a tough game but we fought through the hard moments well and managed to get a good bonus-point win." 
Dylan O'Connell
Full-time: Munster 7-28 Leinster

The Leinster squad head back on the road to Dublin with the job done and a URC bonus point in the bag. 

There is a break coming up and Munster have plenty of work to do before they face Saracens in the Champions Cup at this venue on January 11. 

Next up for Leo Cullen's side is Ronan O'Gara's La Rochelle away a day later.

78'

Leinster are in for another try as replacement Lee Barron attempts to ground the ball. 

It's difficult to see clearly from the replay and referee Sam Grove-White confers at length with the TMO. 

The TMO says there is no evidence to go against the referee's on-field decision of no clear grounding and a knock-on so there will be no try.

Some powerful carries from the likes of Doris and McCarthy and Leinster win a penalty on the five-metre line for offside.

Ross Byrne hasn't done himself any favours with a poor kick. 

But Leinster are putting Munster under significant pressure now. A bonus-point try may not be too far away.

Van der Flier wriggles free on the touchline but is eventually brought down by Hodnett and the ball goes forward. 

It'll be a Munster scrum.

We're inside the final 20 minutes and Munster need a score to bring the game back to life. Burn's cross-field kick has the accuracy and finds Ahern.
