Leinster 15 Racing 12Not their best performance of the season, but Leinster showed another side to their nerve and character to earn that fourth star on their jerseys. Ultimately, Leinster were kept tryless in what was unsurprisingly a taut, chess-like final, and they only led for less than two minutes. This went a long way to Leinster had just about the better of an 80 minute battle for every inch going. Ringrose breached the defensive line and when Talès strayed offside, Nacewa edged Leinster in front for the first time.
