How Leinster's honey pots caught Montpellier on the hop

When it came to surveying the weekend's rugby action Andy Dunne and Liam Toland couldn't speak highly enough of the Leinster team which secured a bonus point victory against Montpellier at the RDS on Saturday.

"It's academy talent with a grit behind it," Dunne reflected after a number of Leinster's young guns put in massive performances while seasoned Irish internationals missed out through injury.

"It looked so easy for them at times," he added, noting that the province looked particularly dangerous when attacking from set pieces.

Meanwhile, Toland praised their forwards for their "honey potting" - forcing the opposition to commit players to the breakdown and creating space for the team to attack.

"They have a ruthless efficiency around that," he told Joe Molloy.

He was also highly critical of the mega-budget Montpellier side which travelled to Dublin, describing their game plan as "lazy."

Munster

"It was a little frustrating, wasn't it?" Liam commented when asked about Munster's draw with Castres. He noted that the team lacked discipline at times, both coughing up cheap penalties and seeming to stray from their game plan.

Dunne believes that the team lacked coherency at times and that their playing style is still evolving.
