Leinster edge to narrow victory over Connacht

Connacht went through 28 phases in search of a last-gasp try but Leinster held out to clinch an engrossing 21-18 derby victory in the Guinness PRO14.

Max Deegan, one of Leinster’s two try-scorers, won a decisive penalty at the breakdown - right at the death - as Leo Cullen’s men maintained their record of not losing a regular season home PRO14 match since February 2015.
