24′ – LEIN 14-0 LIO: Leinster’s defence just dominating the Lions so far. Excellent line-speed and the South Africans can get nothing going at all so far.

14′ – TRY FOR LEINSTER! HUGO KEENAN!

Wonderful play by Sam Prendergast and Keenan dots down, with the out-half converting for 14-0.

Leinster in cruise control early on here!

14′ – LEIN 7-0 LIO: Jimmy O’Brien is held up over the line after a gorgeous team move, with Rieko Ioane at the centre of it.

Unreal scramble D by the Lions, who are clinging on for now.

10′ – TRY FOR LEINSTER! DAN SHEEHAN! 7-0.

Leinster’s attack clicks and Jimmy O’Brien swings a gorgeous bridge pass out to the free man, Sheehan, who walks one in on the right-hand side.

Prendergast converts from centre-right and the hosts have the lead!

5′ – LEIN 0-0 LIO: A scrappy start to this one. You can see the Lions’ intent to play from all eventualities but it’s been a midfield kind of game for the most part so far.

Big day for this man, who will leave Leinster at the end of the season — and isn’t necessarily happy about it.
