After a run of five consecutive defeats themselves, Buccaneers needed to steady the ship and they managed that with a last-gasp Paddy O'Sullivan try, converted by David Connellan to secure the spoils for the westerners.

Lansdowne's bonus point extended the gap between themselves and bottom club Carlow to two points.
