Leo Cullen’s side remain undefeated going into fourth round clash against Munster
had in Parma a week ago. Vastly superior and largely in cruise control, they had a third attacking bonus point and, for all intents and purposes, a third win in three games secured by the 26th minute.
As well as the desire, some of the rhythm went from Leinster’s game when Jimmy O’Brien’s departure in the 37th minute led to a widespread reshuffle in Leinster’s backline. The heavy rain of Thursday and Friday had given way to a lovely sunny day in Treviso and the game kicked off in temperatures of 17 degrees under moderately cloudy conditions, not that it obscured the view of the Dolomites.
Although Kelleher carried on in clear discomfort, this led to a couple of lineout drives, a penalty try and a yellow card for Mirco Spagnolo, following which Leinster scored a superb long-range try straight from the restart. This prompted the temporary replacement of Sebastian Negri and led to Jamie Osborne being launched up the middle before Gibson-Park took out five defenders with a predetermined looped blindside pass for the touchline-hugging Conan to score.
