Not the most entertaining first half with both sides making plenty of errors, but the try from McGrath just before half time will send the Leinster players into the dressing room the happier side. The Dragons have really put it up to Leinster and their defence has been on top with Leinster struggling to create many try opportunities. A huge second half awaits and The Dragons will believe that they can shock the world and claim a win here tonight which would be their first win on Irish soil since they defeated Ulster in Ravenhill in 2008.
