LEINSTER’S LEO CULLEN was relieved to emerge with a five-point haul from a testing URC encounter in Edinburgh to banish some of the lingering pain from an opening visit to Scotland last season.
“Round One away last year is still so strong in my memory and getting nothing from it, so we’re delighted to get five points here,” Cullen said. Advertisement “They have a lot of power and seasoned internationals in their team, but there was much better intent in our actions in the second half and it was a strong period for us when we got three tries in 10 minutes.
“Charlie had a great bit of individual skill to deal with the high ball and then finish from 30m out. That was a pleasing moment.”
