Leinster concede a penalty, Ross Molony at the lineout and the home side go to the corner again. Leinster guilty of a couple of handling errors, the first from Jimmy O’Brien and then after Ben Morgan produces a thumping tackle. 10 mins: Wonderful break from Jamie Osborne and even though he’s tackled short, Gloucester are offside and centre Seb Atkinson receives a yellow card. It was a poor decision to try and run the ball and they are penalised at the ruck when Harris nails Ringrose. The young centre takes a pass from Gibson-Park and runs a gorgeous line following a Leinster lineout, cuts back against the grain, steps George Barton and dots down, a superb individual score. The home side, particularly Val Rapava-Ruskin, Morgan and Harris, are winning the collisions and with a bit more composure in contact could have Leinster in a little more trouble. Sheehan makes a big break after Gloucester lose a lineout, but Leinster concede a penalty 26 metres from the Gloucester line for not releasing in the tackle. Leinster win a free kick at a scrum but they give away a gilt edged try scoring chance by illegally clearing out at a ruck six metres from the line. Porter and Larmour return to the pitch. It’s been a good half for Leinster on the scoreboard and in some of the rugby that they have played. 60 mins: Leinster win a scrum penalty, concede one at a lineout, win another one at a scrum and then get another as referee Brousset takes centre stage. 32 mins: Two good defensive sets for Leinster but Gloucester are seeing more of the ball with Porter in the sin bin.

The line out from Dan Sheehan is thrown long to Ryan Baird on the crash. Leinster tap and go. The Cherry and Whites come into the game having lost 57-0 against Leinster last time out in the Champions Cup after head coach George Skivington sent a second team to Dublin on a controversial move. A scrum penalty for the home pack allows Santi Carreras to arrow the ball into the Leinster half. The Cherry and Whites looks to switch the direction of play and spread the ball wide with a misspass to Lewis Ludlow on the wing but the skipper can't hold onto the tough pass and the pill goes into touch. The backrower is just stopped and a couple of phases later George McGuigan competes for the ball at a ruck and Leinster go off their feet trying to clear it out to concede a penalty. Moments later the ball is worked down the blindside and Hugo Keenan has a one on one with George Barton thanks to a clever slap pass from Ross Byrne and the Irish full back puts in a hitch kick and steps his way beyond down the touchline and score. But the Cherry and Whites were playing with a penalty advantage and kicked to the corner, executed their lineout and set the maul drive only for Caelan Doris to bring it down illegally. The Shed thought Jonny May was over for a try moments earlier after bursting onto a pass from Ollie Thorley and speeding over but the pass from Thorley was clearly forward. Billy Twelvetrees kicks his side into the corner from a penalty but for once the catch and drive game malfunctions with Gloucester putting blockers in front of their maul. Ronan Kelleher is over from a catch and drive, the maul rolls down the blindside to put the replacemennt hooker over. Leinster secure their position at the top of Pool A with a dominant display.
Big day for Hugo Keenan as he will make his 50th appearance in Blue. Cian Healy set for number 100 off the bench. Share.
