Zebre 24 - 40 LeinsterWhen Ross Byrne dummied and raced under the posts in the 22nd minute, he and Leinster must have thought their job was done in Italy. The out-half’s try was Leinster’s third and his conversion put them 21 points up with almost an hour left to play. Leinster, the clear leaders of Conference A, against the bottom side in Conference B, it was game over, surely. Both sides scored early in the second half, but ultimately Leinster had too much and took the full five points back with them to Dublin. Zebre were within reach now, and got even closer when Gabriele di Giulio rounded Kearney out wide to score the hosts’ third try.
