Leinster rue moments of  madness

Yellow cards to lock Ed O’Donoghue and outside half Ian Madigan in the space of three minutes, interspersed by a dump tackle from Jason Harris-Wright, which conceded the penalty that led to Madigan’s departure, contrived to turn a game that had swung the way of the visitors on its head.

Having fallen behind a minute after the break to a fourth penalty from home outside half Dan Biggar, Leinster edged back in front two minutes later thanks to a second moment of magic from Isa Nacewa. The Fijian full back had used his strength to create a try for Andrew Conway in the first-half and then showed his craft and cunning to a grab a vital second five pointer.
