Munster Rugby boss Graham Rowntree hoping for good news on the injury front after Leinster defeat as he welcomes back a number of players for the southern hemisphere URC jaunt

Graham Rowntree says Munster must "roll with the punches" after shipping more physical and psychological blows at Croke Park to add to a very mixed start to the season.

"We came here to play, we fired shots, we let ourselves down on occasion with our accuracy but I thought we did the occasion justice. We were ready for this game. "You’re constantly trying to get better, working on your mistakes, working on your accuracy, accuracy under pressure against a very strong defence, for example. Their line speed. That's all we can do."

"We'll see how they are but there’s no grave concerns at the moment," insisted Rowntree, who earlier spoke of Leinster taking advantage of the 'chaos' in Munster's ranks in the opening 20 minutes as injuries took a toll.
