Masterclass lights up the Aviva

EVERYTHING in the Leinster garden looks rosy following a superb Heineken Cup victory over one of England’s finest on a night when 46,000 came to the Aviva Stadium to boost the balance sheet.

The result propels the champions six points clear of second-place Glasgow Warriors at the helm of Pool 3, with two rounds of the group stages to play.

Joe Schmidt’s side travel to Firhill to face the Warriors before welcoming Montpellier to the RDS in Round 6 next month with their place in the last eight all but assured.
