Leinster backs coach Felipe Contepomi: "It's hard to digest a defeat, but we need to move on and take the lessons we've learnt.

"We have a very short turnaround to play the in-form team in PRO14 or PRO12 whatever you want to call it, then straight into Europe.

"There's not much time to re-think or moan about that defeat. We need to move on."
