Leinster conceded 11 tries, and scored only four, across the two games of their South Africa tour.
THE LEINSTER MANAGEMENT team insists that the decision to send a weakened squad to South Africa was made with the club’s dual-title ambitions in mind.
Nevertheless, few could have predicted that Leinster would concede 86 points and 11 tries over the two matches, or that the attack would register a mere 24 points and four tries over a period of 160 minutes. And yet, there’s a chance that the barren tour may hurt Leinster’s chances of topping the URC table. Glasgow Warriors, who beat Zebre Parma on Saturday, have moved ahead of Leinster with three league rounds to play.
