    FT: Leinster 24-18 Munster

    That's all from this derby as Leinster earn the bragging rights to move up to sixth in the URC standings with their second win of the campaign.

    They hadn't it all their own way though, particularly in the first half, and in defeat Munster deservedly claimed a losing bonus point to only drop one place in the standings, passed by Leinster to sit down in 12th.
