Tries from Ringrose and Barrett enough to see Leinster hold off Clermont

The French side made life difficult for Leo Cullen’s men at Aviva Stadium.

Leinster 15

Clermont Auvergne 7

LEINSTER ARE TWO from two in the Champions Cup but for the second week running the province will have frustrations around many elements of their performance.

Two first-half tries, courtesy of Garry Ringrose and Jordie Barrett, alongside a second-half Sam Prendergast penalty proved enough for the province but they made life difficult for themselves in front of almost 35,000 supporters at the Aviva.

The 42′s award-winning team produces original content that you won’t find anywhere else: on GAA, League of Ireland, women’s sport and boxing, as well as our game-changing rugby coverage, all with an Irish eye.
