What homework should be assigned to Munster and Leinster after Saturday?

"Sometimes with these derby matches, it's not about winning or losing, but what you learn from it."

That's according to Grenoble coach Bernard Jackman's who joined us on and former Leinster captain Liam Toland on the line to analyse Munster's derby win over Leinster.

But what can both sides really learn from the match?

Jackman felt that Munster damaged Leinster at the breakdown.

"Munster went into the Aviva on Saturday night and did a job on Leinster in that area. You can argue that the referee was weak and let it go on for too long, but from my point of view as a pack of forwards, you've got to take the referee out of it." 

The lads debated  the standard of refereeing which was alluded to by Munster head coach Anthony Foley when he spoke to Dave McIntyre earlier today, as well as Matt O'Connor when he was talking to Joe on Off The Ball yesterday.

Toland highlighted the ferocity of Munster's defence and their diligence at getting the ball at the gain-line, with a simple, aggressive game. He was also critical of Leinster's accuracy.
