Match Report: Connacht Rugby 8 Leinster Rugby 45 (Leinster Rugby)

Leinster Rugby wore down Connacht with six second-half tries to leave The Sportsground with all the points in Round 14 of the URC.

Luke McGrath’s strip of Ultan Dillane enabled Hawkshaw to spot space in the backfield. When Frawley left for a Head Injury Assessment, 20-year-old Chris Cosgrave entered for his debut in the 32nd minute. His kick was gobbled up by the Leinster counter-ruck for McGrath to shoot a gap for the third try, Hawkshaw converting for 21-8 in the 57th minute. One man down, Leinster opted to hold onto the ball. The ball was recycled for Hawkshaw to drive through Murray for the lead try and, also, the conversion in the 55th minute. The home side chose a scrum ahead of a penalty and when the forwards couldn’t breach, Carty whipped a high, wide pass for full-back O’Halloran to dive in for 8-7 at the break.

Win over 14-man Connacht reminded Leo Cullen of Ireland v England (Irish Examiner)

Connacht coach Andy Friend had no arguments with the early red card which Cullen said had a galvanising effect on Connacht in the first half.

We had too many turnovers and they went up another gear and were too good for us in the end. It’s one of those things, I know there is not intent in that to hurt but at the same time you know you can’t hit shoulder off the head. “The bench came on and made a decent impact as well and we looked just a totally different team.
