Aviva signals indicate big two need more imagination
Around the field, more similarities abounded: 23 kicks in play per game, five and a half line breaks, 14 and a half turnovers conceded and 95% ruck retention.
The first half was frustrating for the home crowd with Leinster conceding 12 turnovers and three scrum penalties in that period. Whatever was said at half time seemed to have an impact as Leinster didn’t concede a single scrum penalty in the second forty, even staying stable enough to allow scrum half Eoin Reddan to launch a superb blind side break.
