O'Connor happy with defensive display

Leinster head coach Matt O’Connor hailed his side’s collective performance at the RDS on Saturday evening as they kept alive their European Champions Cup hopes with a comprehensive 50-8 victory over Pool Two opponents Castres.

First-half tries by Dave Kearney, Martin Moore, Eoin Reddan and Sean Cronin meant the hosts had already secured a much-needed bonus point by half-time in this fifth-round contest.
