Llanelli run riot as Leinster's fine record left in tatters

THE blows just keep on coming for Irish rugby.

All three provinces might have lost last night but Leinster's defeat was surely the most traumatic, having surrendered six tries and their 100% record in this year’s Magners League after a car crash of a performance in the second half.

Leinster had won 16 straight at home in the Magners League prior to this and victory would have equalled the tournament record of 17 currently held by the Cardiff Blues.
