Backs dazzle as Leinster make light work of Italian job

Leinster 57 Treviso 17

Undoubtedly, Leicester won’t relish the prospect of facing the most devastating backline in Europe in the quarter-finals in April. What remains unclear is whether, against Martin Johnson and co, the Leinster forwards can provide enough possession to allow their speedsters wreak the type of havoc they did on Saturday.

Although they scored nine tries, some of which were stunning in their execution, as a spectacle this was candy floss entertainment - tasty but unfulfilling.
