GUINNESS PRO 14: Dublin (IRL) – RDS Arena – Leinster-Cheetahs 19-7
“Leinster Rugby sewed up top spot in Guinness PRO14 Conference B and a home semi-final with a 19-7 win over the Toyota Cheetahs at the rain-hit RDS. The defending champions sealed a table-topping finish with four rounds still to play, building a 12-7 interval lead against the South Africans. Conor O’Brien and the prolific Sibahle Maxwane swapped tries during Ox Nche’s sin-bin period inside the opening quarter, and Adam Byrne marked his 50th Leinster cap with a well-taken effort in the corner. Rory O’Loughlin’s smartly-finished 55th-minute try from his own chip kick opened up a 12-point cushion and that is how it stayed, their 15th victory in 17 rounds leaving the province a full 26 points clear of second-placed Benetton Rugby.” (Source: leinsterrugby.ie)
