Leinster’s first-half dominance pays rich dividends

Superb for 50 minutes or so, and almost supine for the last half an hour, this one followed the trajectory of their previous two outings away to Glasgow and Edinburgh even if there was never a point when defeat threatened.

Leinster had opened their seasonal account with a visit to Dublin by Treviso before spending those two weekends in Scotland so this was the first real sense of occasion to hit the RDS since last May’s semi-final defeat of Ulster in Ballsbridge.
