Kiwis end tour with victory

The New Zealand Youths rounded off their Ireland tour last night by beating Leinster 23-13 at Donnybrook.

Out-half Troy Nathan opened the scoring after 12 minutes with a penalty and the tourists extended their lead with an individual try from winger Paul Tuuta. Nathan duly converted.

The tourists coughed up a try early in the second-half when a reverse pass from hooker Gary Moran sent Murphy over near the posts. Brian O’Shea’s conversion made it a three-point game.
