Leinster boss Leo Cullen was happy enough to leave Bayonne and head back to Dublin with four more Champions Cup points but admitted to ‘mixed feelings’ after watching his side labour to a 22-13 win at a rain-soaked Stade Jean Dauger.

“To get 18 points, you’d love to get 20, but listen, we’ve got 18. Take it, move on,” he said. “[There has been] lots of good stuff within that and let’s see where we end up.”
