Leinster bounce back in dominant fashion against Sharks
Max Deegan marked his 100th appearance for Leinster with a try in their 34-13 United Rugby Championship win over the Sharks at a wet RDS Arena. Well-taken scores from Jordan Larmour and Deegan steered Leo Cullen's men into a 12-6 half-time lead. A brace of early penalties from Curwin Bosch put the Sharks on the board. Bouncing back from last Sunday's defeat in Glasgow, Leinster secured their bonus point through replacement Rob Russell and Tommy O'Brien, before Russell cancelled out Dylan Richardson's late consolation try. Two soft enough penalties leaked by Leinster saw fly-half Bosch split the posts twice inside the opening 10 minutes. His second strike was from halfway, but came after Larmour had opened the hosts' try account for the evening.
