**Munster will travel to Ulster in the Final Eight after slipping out of the United Rugby Championship's top four following a 35-25 defeat to Leinster.** Four tries in 22 minutes – with Scott Penny’s opener coming inside 90 seconds – made for a highly entertaining first half which ended 15-12 in the table toppers’ favour. Penny and Cormac Foley crossed for the hosts, who rotated their squad ahead of next week’s Heineken Champions Cup final, while Munster had back-to-back scores from Jack O’Donoghue and Mike Haley. An opportunist Conor Murray try moved Munster a step closer to finishing second overall, but Leinster roared back with a penalty try – Niall Scannell saw yellow for collapsing a maul – and a rapid Rory O’Loughlin effort.
