Luke McGrath (2), Max Deegan, Brian Deeny and Liam Turner all cross for scores at the RDS
Cardiff hooker Kirby Myhill was fortunate not to escape censure for sliding feet first into Harry Byrne in vying for a loose ball on the ground, clumsy rather than malicious; the fact that referee Jaco Peyper and television match official Marius Jonker ignored it was surprising.
Byrne’s conversion saw Leinster establish a 19-0 interval lead. It had been a reasonably good half from a team perspective, while individually there were several standout contributions, Milne and McKee in the frontrow carried the ball extremely effectively; Deeney demonstrated the value of good footwork in contact.
