Clinical Leinster boys punish Munster

LEINSTER had little trouble beating their southern rivals in this two-legged Section ‘A’ Schools Interprovincial challenge at Donnybrook yesterday.

It could all have been so different had Munster hooker Ben Cross not been held up over the line when a try looked certain in the sixth minute.

From there on, Leinster took charge. Out-half Alex O’Driscoll kept them ticking over by converting penalties and centre Sam Crowe notched their first-half try to cancel out same from Munster captain William O’Morochoe to leave it 13-8 at the interval.
