GUINNESS PRO 14: Dublin (IRL) – RDS Arena – Leinster-Zebre 41-6
“James Lowe and Max Deegan crossed for two tries each in Leinster Rugby’s 41-6 bonus point win over Zebre at the RDS, which keeps them on course for a home Guinness PRO14 semi-final. The Conference B front-runners, who have extended their lead over the second-placed Scarlets to four points, ended a rain-lashed first half with a 12-3 buffer thanks to scores from Lowe (12 minutes) and Rory O’Loughlin (34). 21-year-old man-of-the-match Deegan book-ended the third quarter with two well-taken tries, with Carlo Canna’s second penalty sandwiched in between. Leinster finished with a flourish, Lowe grabbing his ninth try in 10 starts, 22-year-old Academy prop Vakh Abdaladze getting his first senior score, and fellow replacement Bryan Byrne completing the seven-try rout.” (Source: leinsterrugby.ie)
