Leinster net bonus point with late tries

Three tries in eight stunning minutes helped Leinster to a bonus point win over Cardiff Blues at the RDS.

With just four points between the sides at half time, it looked like the hosts would again struggle to see off the Welsh visitors, after last season’s 22-21 win, but the Leinster bench provided plenty of spark, and tries from supersubs Sean Cronin, Barry Daly and Nick McCarthy did the damage.

It was Leinster’s 13th win in a row over the Blues as they got back to winning ways at the RDS, after last May’s Guinness Pro12 playoff semi-final defeat to Scarlets.
