LEINSTER WILL TOP the URC table overnight after signing off at the RDS with a comfortable 33-7 defeat of Connacht.

This was the final game at the RDS before redevelopment works at the stadium and the home side marked the occasion by putting five tries on a Connacht side who looked ready for the summer break, with Jack Conan, Jimmy O’Brien (2), Ciarán Frawley, and Dan Sheehan all crossing for the hosts.
