Leinster secured a 24-18 victory over Munster in a United Rugby Championship derby at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. Munster number eight Gavin Coombes alleged he was grabbed in the groin by an unnamed Leinster player during a ruck in the first half. Coombes raised the incident with the referee, but the TMO found no video evidence.
After the game, Munster head coach Clayton Mc Millan backed Coombes completely, stating players would not make such allegations lightly. Leinster head coach Leo Cullen said he did not see the incident but called it a "serious matter" for the citing commissioner, adding it "looked like he changed his mind halfway through the accusation." The result sees Leinster maintain pressure at the top of the table, while Munster will await the citing commissioner's review of the groin grab allegation.
