Buck was warned by the referee twice already for collapsing the scrum and the referee this time has had enough and sends the prop to the bin and sit out the remainder of the half.
The Dragons are offside and Leinster kick the ball to just outside the 22 as they push to take the lead with 10 minutes remaining in this half.
Great play from Tovey as he drops into the pocket and slots it over for The Dragons opening score of this game. Their could of been more for the Dragons but none the less they will be happy that they are level with Leinster as we enter the 30th minute.
McFadden's kick like Harries in the first few minutes goes straight into touch. The Dragons win the resulting lineout and they are now camped just inside the homeside 22 as they push for the opening try of this game.
25 minutes gone in the first half and not much to talk about from either side. Leinster have the ball as they look to take a commanding lead before half time.
Shocking pass from Ree's as his pass to Tovey is forward and at his feet. Nothing the flyhalf could do about that as he dived to collect the ball. Put in for Dragons on halfway.
Great little step from Reid as he he is tackled by Smith. Reddan eventually gets the ball to Macken but he runs out of pitch and is tackled into touch by Harries.
The Dragons have made far too many mistakes in this first quarter and that has continued just as they were making ground with Talei knocking on just as they going putting together a couples of phases.
Mcfadden this time fails to hold the ball from another up and under from Tovey. The Dragons have a scrum as they look to gain some sort of sucsess in the scrum with Leinster dominating as we entering in to the 20th minutes of this game.
The Dragons can breath a sigh of relief. Just as Leinster enter into the Welsh sides 22 Macken fails to release the ball and Tovey clears to half way.
