After much persistence, the hosts squeezed in front when Rory Darge released fullback Josh McKay for a converted try with just under 13 minutes gone on the clock. Leinster edged into the ascendancy on 29 minutes courtesy of Boyle’s try from a five-metre drive on his first start in the professional game, but their lead proved to be short-lived. Huw Jones and Angus Fraser crossed the whitewash in quick succession to ensure Glasgow brought a 24-13 cushion into the break.
