Kicking key for resurgent Leinster

LEINSTER put their Heineken Cup campaign back on track, not just winning away but collecting a try bonus point into the bargain at Hughenden yesterday.

The result pushes them into second place in their pool, still behind Bath, but at least still in touch.

They had Felipe Contepomi to thank for their victory in a match that hinged on the two fly halves. While his opposite number Dan Parks was having a nightmare with the boot, missing six out of seven shots at goal, the Argentinian calmly slotted all his penalties and though he missed a couple of touchline conversions, his all-round control allowed Leinster to emerge as comfortable victors.
