Leinster scored eight tries in seeing off the Sharks last week but head coach Leo Cullen appeared to be just as happy after grinding out another win, this time against Connacht, in Galway on Friday night.

A final scoreline of 10-0 speaks for the attritional nature of a disappointing game that wasn’t helped by the slippery conditions and a breeze that cut diagonally across the Sportsground with scrum-half Cormac Foley claiming the game’s only try.
