Leinster battled back from 15 points down to preserve their unbeaten United Rugby Championship record this season and secure a last-gasp 39-36 victory over the Lions.

It was a cruel ending for the Lions who were exciting in attack and crossed for tries through Edwill van der Merwe, Gianni Lombard, Marius Louw and Francke Horn as well as being awarded a penalty try but the defeat was a blow to their play-off hopes.
