Daire Walsh reports from the Aviva Stadium
LEINSTER HAVE MOVED 15 points clear at the summit of the United Rugby Championship after a strong second-half display helped them to claim a bonus-point triumph over Cardiff at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
While it was a far from perfect performance at times, an experimental Leinster side ultimately made it 12 wins from as many games in the URC this season to put them in a strong position ahead of their upcoming mini tour of South Africa.
Tries by John McKee, Jack Boyle, Max Deegan, Luke McGrath, Charlie Tector and the returning Rob Russell ensured Leinster earned maximum points for their efforts.
