Leinster bag a big scalp in Durban

Leinster ran out in Durban with a weakened side and having come off a narrow loss last week against the Bulls. The Sharks brought out the big guns with multiple Springboks starting but as has been the case they often missfire, this game was no exception.

McKee, Deeny and Frawley topped the tackle stats for the visitos with 14, 13 and 13 tackles respectively. MOTM and captain Max Deegan carried more than any other player besides Ox Nche with both of them taking it up 12 times each.

The Sharks had a chance to level things up with a penalty at the death but Siya Kolisi opted to go for the corner where Leinster flooded the maul and held it up to close out the game
