Tony Ward argues that Munster v Leinster is now the biggest club fixture of them all in The Irish Independent.
"The clock was turned back at Thomond Park on Saturday night as Munster and Leinster produced a match of passion in what is now the biggest club fixture in world rugby.
"It would be too simplistic to suggest the half-time interval turned this game around -- but it certainly had a major effect.
"So clinically efficient were Leinster in the first half that the last thing they needed was a break. With the score 20-9, the feeling was of Europe's form team being home and hosed, irrespective of the temporary halt to their gallop. By contrast, Munster couldn't get into the dressing-room quickly enough to regroup, reassess and reinvent themselves. And how."
