Leinster - in spite of relatively heavy rotation - stunned Thomond Park with a 34-24 victory this afternoon. They raced into a 27-5 lead before the clock had a chance to catch up with their points total - Munster's only points of the first-half coming from a virtuoso move from Conor Murray in which he finished a move he began by taking the ball in a lineout.
Munster caught fire in the second half, with tries from Ian Keatley and Andrew Conway bringing them back into contention, but they failed to find the final thrust of momentum that they needed. They were curbed by a magnificent late turnover by Dan Leavy and then killed by an amazing try by 20-year-old full-back Jordan Larmour.
Larmour began with a couple of devilish sidesteps before dashing 60-yards and finished by touching down by the posts. Leo Cullen added a deserved postscript by terming it one of the best tries he has seen.
Enjoy it below.

The despairing dive of Zebo at the end has a nice symbolism too it: from a former Irish full-back to a future one.
