Faultless McKinley looks part but Blues miss out on bonus

Leinster 30 Treviso 5

Battling Treviso gave a decent account of themselves but couldn’t match their first-half pressure by putting points on the scoreboard, while the hosts took their chances and eventually cantered home.

Much of the positive news came from out-half Ian McKinley, who scored his first try for the province in only his fourth appearance. The 21-year-old was assured in possession, kicked well and set up Dave Kearney for his try. That he crossed himself was a fair reward for his endeavour.
