Leinster recorded a routine if hard-fought 43-14 victory over Dragons to extend their lead at the top of the United Rugby Championship.

That precipitated a 25-minute spell where Leinster toiled and struggled to impose their game, with the only score coming from Hanrahan's converted try in the 63rd minute, by which stage Leinster had introduced seven of their eight replacements, including a debut for prop Jack Boyle. Larmour went over for try number five in the 47th minute when he spotted space on the short side and ran in 22 yards before diving in the corner. Byrne, who also kicked three conversions, flopped over for his second after a sustained period of pressure, started by a Ruddock break, with the clock in the red and the bonus was secured.
