Leinster head for next Saturday nightâs rendezvous with Ulster in Belfast with a six-point lead at the top of Conference A. The bonus point victory was facilitated somewhat by the ill discipline of their opponents, who had outhalf Adam Hastings sent off on 33 minutes and also lost two players to yellow cards.
A brace of late tries put a gloss on a Leinster performance that flitted between the excellent and the careless. The home side lost Ciaran Frawley (shoulder) in the warm-up, teenager Jamie Osborne coming into the centre and performing very capably, while Harry Byrne was having a superb game when forced off with a head injury in the first half.
