Cheika: Hard work the key

Leinster coach Michael Cheika was pleased with how his team played their natural game as the Heineken Cup champions got their campaign back on track with a 36-13 win over Brive.

Rob Kearney’s first-half try helped Leinster build a 19-6 lead at the break and, although Gerhard Vosloo touched down for the home side in the second period, a late double from replacement Kevin McLaughlin ensured Leinster ran out comfortable winners.
