IT was with consummate ease that Munster swept past Leinster, 15-50, to capture the Interprovincial Women’s Rugby Championship at Energia Park, Dublin.
Matt Brown’s side were well set up for the victory by half-time, ahead 31-0 against their three-in-a-row-seeking opponents.
The tries flowed through Chloe Pearse, Deirbhile Nic a Bháird (2), Aoife Corey, Maeve Óg O’Leary, CaitrÃona Finn and Eilis Cahill.
In another Player of the Match display, Finn also kicked many points from the tee to bring her overall total to a whopping 20 points.
Finn only debuted for the province a few weeks ago.
The outcome represented title number 15 for Munster, and a first since 2022.
