Following a line-out maul with just under eight minutes on the clock, Jamie Osborne released Dave Kearney for a breakthrough try. This was Russell’s fourth try of the season and he subsequently added his fifth just past the first-quarter mark – superb build-up play from Luke McGrath putting him through in the right-corner.

Yet Leinster didn’t panic and a powerful 55th-minute finish from Michael Milne ensured they were guaranteed to come away with maximum points from this fixture.
