"I don't think we're going to see a trick-play here," said Bernard Jackman, up in the commentary booth. "They're just going to go for it." Go for it Sheehan did, and he crashed through Niall Scannell and Dave Kilcoyne to score. As the Leinster players celebrated, a voice from their huddle could be heard - on the referee's microphone - exclaiming, "Easy! That's it. Easy!" while James Lowe ran in shouting, "Well done boys. Well done!" In the background, Molony and Scannell exchanged views after grabbing scruffy holds of each others' jerseys.https://twitter.com/SportTG4/status/1607479656185208832 Max Deegan would return to finish out the game, with Leinster spending most of the final five minutes in the Munster 22 after conceding a try to young back Patrick Campbell in the right-hand corner. On House of Rugby [LISTEN from 3:00 below], Jason Hennessy and Lindsay Peat gave their take on the key moments from another battling Leinster win, and a gutting Munster defeat.

"That Scott Penny try was magic from him and Sheehan. But if you look at Sheehan's try again, they're all standing up trying to tackle the Leinster lads, and they got walked over like schoolboys. It was so easy... Munster should have defended it better.""The fact that Sheehan scored against Scannell and Kilcoyne, two of Munster's more experienced men, was all the more disappointing, " said Lindsay Peat. "Munster made shit of Leinster's breakdown, bullied them at the scrum and the lineouts were an absolute battle. It was men against boys, at times... but the young lads at Leinster wilkl get great experience out of coming through with a one-point win when they weren't really at it." Related articles.
