That's more like it Leinster about time. Noel Reid was very good tonight but my man of the match would have been Shane Jennings. Let's build on it now.

not even slightly harsh, he detached from maul and then hit the connacht side of the maul, should have been penalty try too

That game was a lot tighter than the score reflects. Entertaining. Hard on Connaught. Well done Leinster.

Full-Time: Leinster come away with a hard earned win against Connacht. The score line flatters the hosts somewhat. Not the most ideal night for free flowing rugby where the conditions wreaked havoc for both sides. In the end, it was a case of the team who made the least amount of mistakes won. Connacht had far too many turnovers and handling errors along with some poor discipline at times. Noel Reid picks up a deserved man of the match award for his performance this evening. Thanks for staying with our live coverage and updates this evening. Merry Christmas!

Disgusting. So many stupid turnovers. Then that suicide at the end. This was season defining. Consider it defined. Soooo bloody frustrating.

Big game from Douglas best to date really committed and aggressive

What a sucker punch. Sloppy.

Whoaw very nice

Try Leinster! Kirchner makes the most of a mistake from Healy who batted the ball in play from Gopperth's kick to the corner. Krichner pounced on the loose ball and dived over a try. Excellent reaction from the Leinster winger. Gopperth adds the extra two points.

SUPER try take a bow son
