It leaves Leinster with seven successive wins across two competitions as they turn their attention back to Investec Champions Cup action next week and the visit to Dublin of Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle side.

Dan Sheehan says Leinster focused on improving their attacking game in training last week, and it showed as the province claimed eight tries in a convincing defeat of Connacht at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening.

Opinions on their efforts with ball in hand have not been kind of late with Ulster head coach Richie Murphy’s comments about their battering ram approach and Munster captain Tadhg Beirne touching on their defensive focus during the Christmas.
