Dragons profit from Leinster’s gamble

LEINSTER will return to Wales next Saturday with a different side in a different competition and hoping for a different result.

Michael Cheika gambled with Leinster’s Magners League title bid by resting Ireland stars Brian O’Driscoll, Rob Kearney and skipper Leo Cullen.

The Leinster coach wanted his youngsters to step up to the plate but they were brushed aside with ease as Newport Gwent Dragons put them to the sword with a ruthless first-half display.
