- Pool A: Leinster 35-19 Northampton
- Murphy, Healy, Kearney and Gibson-Park score home tries
A home bonus-point win for mighty Leinster over a side they have ravaged more than a few times in the past was the least to expect – and was pretty much all they delivered. The Dublin-based side took what they came for in simple fashion.
Northampton’s travails continue, their form so strangely imploding since the virus put an end to normal service in March. They were competitive, after a fashion, but know this competition is a luxury they cannot afford to dream of, so the avoidance of humiliation might register as a bonus of sorts.
