Leinster fought back to secure a bonus-point win over Munster in a bruising United Rugby Championship derby at Aviva Stadium.

A year on from a stirring win over their rivals at Croke Park, Munster raced into a 13-0 lead through Shane Daly's try and eight points from the boot of 20-year-old fly-half Charlie O'Shea.

However, Tommy O'Brien hit back for Leinster before half-time after being set up by fit-again scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park, who notched three try assists in an eye-catching display.

Ryan Baird and Charlie Tector's second-half tries edged an increasingly dominant Leinster in front before Jamie Osborne's late score secured the home side's bonus point.
