	BBC SPORT \| Rugby Union \| My Club \| Leinster \| Agen 13-25 Leinster
		However, the Leinster lead was short-lived as Agen's burly winger Caucaunibuca sent a delicate chip over the defence and claimed the bounce ahead of Dempsey to charge under the posts.
		Leinster made an immediate impact after finally breaking out of their own half with Whitaker's quick ball setting up the chance for Hickie to squeeze over the Agen line.
		Leinster: Dempsey; Horgan, O'Driscoll, D'Arcy, Hickie; Warner, Whitaker; McCormack, Blaney, Wright, Hogan, O'Kelly, Keogh, Gleeson, Heaslip.

	IRISH POETRY: Munster Leinster Rugby Review
		So as one era or activity comes to its natural end, another is there, as ever, awaiting its turn and time as the future history to be mourned once the young fade and the force that drives their fuse loses its first flush of youth and the blossom withers.
		There were people giving away Leinster and Munster flags outside and inside the ground and the stadium was a sea of red and blue.
		Leinster players are usually drawn from the public schools of Ireland, like Blackrock College and other Dublin schools obsessed with rugby, and their style of play is skilful and fluid, like Brazilian soccer.

		With only Cardiff trying to play attacking rugby, his biggest failed however was to understand that what the game needs from refs is always to penalise the negative team and support the positive team.
		Leinster were strangling the game to death with astute kicking and zero risk rugby.
		Leinster had barely been in the Cardiff half for 20 minutes and it was a cruel blow, but it was a salutary lesson for the young Cardiff side.

		The Leinster talisman was back to his best as he inspired the Irish Province to the five try victory that secured their place in the last eight of the competition.
		Leinster then scored a fifth try when O'Driscoll rounded off a good move to score in the corner to leave the visitors sitting pretty at 35-9.
		However, it was not to be as Leinster's defence held firm in the dying moments.

		But they were cut adrift thanks to some outstanding attacking rugby from Gordon D’Arcy and Brian O’Driscoll that gave them too much of a mountain to climb and set the Irish side on their way to a bonus point victory.
		Leinster controlled a scrum 30 metres out and when D’Arcy drifted onto a lovely ball from Felipe Contepomi, he cut past Adams, straightened and went in for the try.
		Leinster’s lead was up to 20 and the distance was always too great.

	Rugby.ie: Leinster win The Last Stand at Lansdowne
		Leinster took the spoils in the last ever rugby match at the old Lansdowne Road as second-half tries from Owen Finegan and Jamie Heaslip saw them come from behind to beat Ulster 20-12.
		Frustratingly for Leinster coach Michael Cheika, the penalty count against his side grew as the half went on and Wallace obliged again with a difficult 33rd-minute penalty kick, drawing it in from the left.
		Leinster roared right back, winning the restart and man-of-the-match Stephen Keogh was unfortunate not to cross in the right corner after a great build-up from Brian O'Driscoll and Shane Horgan.

	Lansdowne's last hurrah lit up by Leinster \| Rugby union \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		Leinster's three tries to nil performance closed Ulster's lead at the top of the table to three points.
		That limited Leinster especially, and for them it was a constant struggle to get some quick, usable ball to their backs.
		After the break Leinster were far the better side, spending most of the third quarter in or around the Ulster 22, though with only a Jonathan Sexton penalty to show for it.

		Leinster are leading the Celtic League and it would be a surprise if they did not now go on to win it, but by far their greatest achievement was the quarter-final victory in Toulouse, where the Dublin team delivered the stand-out performance of this season.
		Leinster meet Munster in virtually their own back yard, but just as many of the Munster team will be familiar with the Lansdowne Road noise as from the Leinster team.
		While Leinster wowed the Toulouse crowd with their devastating running angles and defence, Munster's quarter-final victory over Perpignan was of an altogether more pragmatic nature, and these two styles of play will make for an interesting match-up on Sunday.

		If English rugby believes that a talismanic player like Lawrence Dallaglio will bale them out and revive their World Cup fortunes next year, I have grim news for them.
		Jonny Wilkinson, the forgotten man of English rugby, is being tipped to be captain on the first day of the Six Nations opener against Scotland next February.
		During Ireland's three match tour of Australia in June I expressed a fear that, owing to Eddie O'Sullivan's intransigence in sticking only with his Senior players, the Irish team was peaking too early for the World Cup and that aspiring young players were not being afforded the opportunity to gain international experience.

	Magners League: Munster 25 - 11 Leinster \| Rugby union \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		Leinster had not played in European rugby's most hostile environment since 1995 and for a generation of their players this fixture represented a first experience of a full Thomond Park, the venue that has helped create so many memorable Heineken Cup occasions.
		The performance of the young fly-half Jonathan Sexton regressed from that of relative calm to something close to all-out panic as Munster began to exert their forward power and the substitute full-back Rob Kearney dropped the first two up-and-unders aimed in his direction and never fully recovered from the shock.
		Leinster Dempsey (Kearney, 48); Horgan, O'Driscoll (capt), D'Arcy, Hickie; Sexton (Contepomi, 67), Easterby (Whitaker, 64); McCormack, Jackman, Wright (Pala'amo, 67), Hogan, O'Kelly (Finegan, 61), Keogh (Jowitt, 59), Gleeson, Heaslip.

		Leinster, however, fought back, lock Jowitt exploiting a Michalak blunder to score their second try in the 53rd minute, which Contepomi converted to give the visitors a 26-18 lead.

		Leinster were without Brian O'Driscoll and the side was captained by Felipe Contepomi in his absence.

	O'Driscoll carries Leinster \| Heineken Cup \| Rugby Union \| Sport \| Telegraph
		Brian O'Driscoll's influence was never more obvious as Leinster defied two of the tenets of successful rugby to displace Agen at the top of Pool Two in the Heineken Cup with a bonus-point win at Lansdowne Road.
		However, the measure of the man's mental strength was such that he went on to claim the award for 'Man of the Match' after scoring three tries – the last of which, deep into injury time, helped to provide a superficial gloss on their performance.
		Yet, Leinster are entitled to believe that they can yet escape the consequences of their aberration in Edinburgh.
