Late surge earns Leinster a draw

LEINSTER stopped the Scarlets from going to the top of the Magners League as they staged an amazing fight-back in the final 10 minutes.

Having slipped 17-5 behind when Gareth Maule crossed with 17 minutes left to play, it looked as though the Dubliners were going to lose for the second week in a row in Wales.

But just as the home fans were getting ready to celebrate leapfrogging Munster at the top of the table, Fergus McFadden weaved his way over for a try and then Jonny Sexton performed one of his midfield run-arounds to create an overlap for Shane Horgan to score.
