Leinster outgun Connacht

Leinster 18 Connacht 9

Declan Kidney made 13 personnel changes from the side that defeated Bath at Lansdowne Road in the Heineken Cup last weekend, and even though Connacht stuck with the same 15 that overturned the odds against Narbonne, the home side proved that little bit more potent when opportunities presented themselves.

That was essentially the difference between the sides in the end, because Connacht had more than enough possession to win this game.
