Contepomi keeps Leinster in the chase

Leinster 16 Connnacht 13

Michael Bradley’s Connacht, with a fair sprinkling of Leinster blood in them, gave as good as they got, perhaps more, but ultimately had to play second fiddle to the Argentinean who accounted for all of Leinster’s points.

It wasn’t a great game, the Donnybrook pitch made up more of sand than grass, but it was exciting and Connacht’s David Gannon might well have won the Man of the Match award if the result had been different. That increasingly dubious award went, deservedly, to Contepomi.
