While he admitted their level of performance didn’t reach the standard they have set for themselves, Leinster senior coach Jacques Nienaber has insisted the province were ultimately satisfied to come away with a 15-7 win over Clermont at the Aviva Stadium last Saturday.

Thanks to opening half tries from Garry Ringrose and Jordie Barrett, Leinster brought a five-point cushion into the interval of their European Champions Cup Pool Two clash with the Top 14 outfit in Irish Rugby HQ.
