Leinster boss O’Connor demands more clinical approach against Blues

Leinster are eager to address the issues that have led to two defeats in their opening three Guinness Pro12 games of the 2014/15 season.

Speaking at the province’s UCD headquarters yesterday ahead of their clash with the Cardiff Blues at the RDS on Friday, Leinster coach Matt O’Connor was pleased with his side’s application during the opening period of their narrow reversal against Connacht at the Sportsgrounds last Friday, but felt they struggled to replicate this level of performance upon the resumption.

“I think we started the game quite well,” he said.
