Happy to get the result shame we didn't get the bonus point but I'd have taken 25-14 before kick off. Thought sexton and nacewa were both superb

@HarpinOnRugby Good solid win. Ringrose & Henshaw looks like a very tasty partnership.

Leinster the better side on the day but that second try was a forward pass. Munster were lacking in ideas and seemed incapable of going forward. Compared to last night's game it wasn't much to look at!

Not to sound arrogant but there's an inevitability about us winning that I haven't seen in a few years #COYBIB @HarpinOnRugby @BigJoeShep

As a neutral leinster were the better team munster and ulster have the same problem munster have a strong pack but the backline are needs improvement ulster have a scary back line but the pack needs improvement leinster have both at the moment 4pp suftum

That was a serious wake up call for Munster ahead of the Champions Cup. No where near good enough. Huge improvements needed for next week.

From the Munster perspective, we made too many mistakes. Leinster better on the day, but partly aided and abetted by Munster errors. Neither side can be overly optimistic heading into Europe...

Disappointing Munster display. I know this fixture is a cash cow but it's been meh a lot longer than it's been fun to watch. #LEIvMUN

I got the impression that Leinster were playing very much within themselves. Munster could do little with their possession - very blunt and the Leinster defense held well.
Alison Moore
Oddly disappointing not to get the try bonus. Munster very poor.

I support neither 'watching as a neutral Connacht fan , Leinster were the better on the day . But that said a bit of a let down by Darby standards. The only players that I thought brought anything to the game was Sexton, Ringrose and a Stander. The 2 best teams played last night . If Kearney, Zebo, o Mahony Toner make the Autumn series ahead of the in Form Connacht and Ulster players I give up.

So where are we? Very much a work in progress. Individual errors at key moments will be the focus #LEINvMUN

Happy enough with that. We only went asleep for about 10mins. We have a very potent 10-12-13 and I can't wait to see them play together again next week. Henshaw is an absolute horse in defence. Ben who?
Thought we looked far better when J. McGrath,Treacy, Molony and Leavy came on although our back row were poor in the first half until O'Mahony went off. We didn't protect the breakdown well enough. McGrath did a great Flappy Bird impression.

Leinster magic! Well done @leinsterrugby The blue is rockin today! ☺

Munster seem to be able to get possession but don't know what to do when they do, Leinster on the other hand struggled for possession at times but their attack is more potent
Garrett Mccolgan
Impressed with the D most of all they made Munster fight for every metre let alone point. Great occasion as always #COYBIB
